Description:
Return to the world of Scadrial in this continuation of the Mistborn Saga by #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. Set 300 years after the events of the original Mistborn trilogy, society is on the cusp of modernity, with technology like railroads and electric lighting mingling with the ancient Metallic Arts. The story follows Waxillium Ladrian, a lawman from the rough frontier territories, forced by family obligation to return to his birthplace, the bustling city of Elendel. He soon discovers that the skills he honed in the Roughs are just as vital in the seemingly civilised metropolis when a mysterious assassin unleashes a massacre at a high-society auction. Wax and his eccentric sidekick Wayne, now working for the constabulary alongside the brilliant Marasi, must hunt down the killer, who appears to be a rogue kandra – a secretive, almost mythical figure known as Bleeder. As the conspiracy unfolds and targets the governor, they must stop Bleeder before the city is plunged into chaos by the intended labor strife and religious conflict. This captivating novel blends elements of high fantasy, steampunk, and detective mystery, exploring the evolution of Scadrial's society, politics, and nascent religions. It offers a fast-paced adventure filled with suspense and intricate plotting, while deepening the connections to the wider Cosmere universe. This first edition paperback is a valuable addition for fans of epic fantasy and Brandon Sanderson's distinctive world-building.
