More about the book

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, this installment of the Mistborn series unfolds a heist story filled with political intrigue and magical martial-arts action, set three hundred years after the original trilogy. Scadrial is on the brink of modernity, featuring railroads, electric lighting, and steel-framed skyscrapers. The legendary figures of Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, and Spook have become part of history or religion. Despite advancements in science and technology, the ancient magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy remain vital, especially in the frontier regions known as the Roughs, where they serve as essential tools for those seeking to impose order and justice. Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn capable of manipulating metals with Allomancy and altering his weight with Feruchemy, returns to the city of Elendel after a family tragedy. He must navigate the responsibilities of leading a noble house, only to discover that the dangers of urban life can rival those of the Roughs. The story promises a blend of action, magic, and the complexities of societal roles in a world where the past and present collide.
