Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
Yumi is a highly disciplined spirit-caller whose every day is controlled by sacred obligations, while Nikaro paints nightmares to protect a neon-lit city. A supernatural accident links them so that each awakens in the other's place while remaining able to see and argue with one another. Solving the exchange requires them to understand two societies, an ancient catastrophe, and the loneliness hidden beneath their very different forms of service. Romantic and visually imaginative, this standalone Cosmere novel suits readers who enjoy body-swapping complications, artistic magic, cultural contrast, and love stories about learning to see the person behind a prescribed role.
