Light Day — bestselling fantasy author Brandon Sanderson’s answer to Black Friday — is almost here, and there are plenty of promotions and deals for Cosmere fans to look forward to. Here’s a look at what Light Day is, when it’s taking place and some of the highlights for this year.
What is Light Day?
In order to avoid the bustle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday — as well as to make things easier on his employees during the holidays — Sanderson and his company, Dragonsteel, have set aside a separate day for sharing deals on his books, merch and other products, as well as releasing brand new products, according to the Dragonsteel website.
When is Light Day 2025?
This year’s Light Day is taking place on Tuesday, Oct. 28, starting at 11 a.m. MDT.
What new products are coming on Light Day?
‘The Lost Metal’ in leather-bound
As Sanderson announced during his appearance at FanX Salt Lake Pop Culture and Comic Convention last month, “The Lost Metal” — the final book in the “Wax and Wayne” series of the “Mistborn” books — will be available in a leather-bound copy.
Travel T-shirts and character pins
T-shirts sporting designs for Cosmere locations like Elantris, Urithuru, T’Telir and more will be available to purchase, as well as new character and “Sandershelf” pins.
‘Worldhopper’ travel gear
New travel gear includes a canvas tote bag, a travel bag and an umbrella.
Holiday apparel
Find Cosmere-themed holiday sweaters, scarves and more, as well as a special dragon holiday card.
What deals can you get on Light Day?
Discounts of 20%-30% will be available for close to 200 items on the Dragonsteel site, including apparel, collectibles and more.
You can also earn a Dragonsteel gift card when you place an order during the first 24 hours of Light Day, ranging from $10 to $150, depending on how much you spend.
