Praise for Brandon Sanderson and the Mistborn Saga Over 10 million Mistborn books sold! "One of the genre's most beloved authors."-- TIME "Sanderson raises the genre stakes... A fan favorite."-- The New York Times "[Sanderson] is not a brilliant writer of epic fantasy, he's simply a brilliant writer. Period."-- Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author "The genre's most popular writer... easily one of the most successful and prolific fantasy writers of the century so far."-- Esquire "Epic in every sense."-- The Guardian "If you're a fan of fantasy and haven't read the Mistborn trilogy yet, you have no excuses."-- Forbes "A breathtaking saga that promises twists every step of the way... succeeds in celebrating what makes fantasy magical while simultaneously delivering a fresh adventure that's endlessly entertaining."-- Paste Magazine , "The 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far)" on Mistborn "Delivers more excitement, adventure, and magic in a newly industrialized world that is as richly realized as any of Sanderson's creations."-- BuzzFeed on Shadows of Self "A fresh view of how a world can grow, building new dimensions into the best of the old. Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre."-- Library Journal (starred review) on The Alloy of Law "A fast-paced novel that's part Wild West, part Indiana Jones, and wholly entertaining, combining high emotional stakes with a deep, good-natured sense of humor."-- Kirkus Reviews on The Bands of Mourning, "The action never lets up, and the characters never lose their endearing humanity.... A fast-paced fantasy adventure set in a fascinating world and populated with lovable, memorable characters." -- Kirkus Reviews "Fast, smart dialog and an abundance of exciting action keep the pages turning." -- Library Journal, starred review "Sanderson's fantasy world partakes equally of steampunk, early industry, and the Wild West, and he cleverly incorporates the metal-shaping magic of feruchemists and allomancers. Fantasy fans will savor this exciting escapade." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action. Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. When family obligations forced Waxillium Ladrian to forsake the frontier lands and return to the metropolis of his birth to take his place as head of a noble House, he little imagined that the crime-fighting skills acquired during twenty years in the dusty plains would be just as applicable in the big city. He soon learned that there too, just being a talented Twinborn -- one who can use both Allomancy and Feruchemy, the dominant magical modes on Scadrial -- would not suffice. This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society will now face its first test by terrorism and assassination, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax, his eccentric sidekick Wayne, and brilliant, beautiful young Marasi, now officially part of the constabulary, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife can stop Scadrial's progress in its tracks.
