Also known as Secret Project 4, The Sunlit Man tells us the tale of Nomad, a wanderer, who finds himself on a new planet with confusing locals and a bullying Tyrant he doesn't have time for. To make things even more confusing, society literally has to stay ahead of the sun, (like physically) or fear melting from its overpowered rays.

This is a stand alone story which takes place in the Cosmere, same as secret projects 1 and 2 but with more direct connections to other Cosmere stories than projects 1 and 2. The Cosmere is the fictional universe where many of Brandon Sanderson's stories take place such as Elantris, the Mistborn saga, The Stormlight Archive series and Warbreaker, to name some of the bigger works.

I absolutely loved this one and strongly recommend it, either as a stand alone or as part of your Cosmere universe. You can best appreciate the references if you've read Books 1-4 of the Stormlight Archive but I do believe it stands on its own as well.
