Now Vin, the street urchin who has grown into the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire. They have barely begun when three separate armies attack. As the siege tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope.

Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, this installment of the Mistborn series unfolds as 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 and religion. Despite advancements in science and technology, the ancient magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy remain vital, especially in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, where they help establish order and justice. Waxillium Ladrian, a unique Twinborn with the ability to Push on metals and manipulate his weight, returns to the city of Elendel after a family tragedy. Reluctantly stepping into his role as the head of a noble house, he soon discovers that the dangers of the city can rival those of the Roughs. As he navigates this new world, Wax must confront unexpected challenges that threaten both his life and the stability of his family’s legacy.
""Shadows of Self" shows Mistborn's society evolving as technology and magic mix, the economy grows, democracy contends with corruption, and religion becomes a growing cultural force, with four faiths competing for converts. This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society now faces its first instance of terrorism, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict"--
When a researcher returns to Elendel with images of a mythical Lord Ruler artifact, believed to grant wearers his power, Waxillium Ladrian conducts an investigation in the southern city of New Seran, where he makes unsettling discoveries about the true goals of The Set
For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set―with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders―since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between Elendel and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate―whose corruption Wax and Steris have sought to expose―and Bilming is even more entangled. After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial’s god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn’t the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere―Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost. Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.--Amazon
