Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the
thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the
epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand
years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years
the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power
and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long
lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken
half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish
prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn.
A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the
ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most
trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and
all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his
ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall
of the divine despot.
But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks
more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named
Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a
much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she
meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help
her master powers of which she never dreamed.
This saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy
fails?
