Publisher Description

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?

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“If I could rate this book a 10/10, I would! It took me a while to read it cause of how busy I was, but I’ve already bought the remaining books in the series. I am so thrilled to be starting in the Cosmere and can’t wait! I don’t usually read male authors because of how they write women, but Brandon Sanderson writes women so well and they aren’t stereotypical at all. The universe he creates is stunning.”

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“Wow wow wow! This was the first Brandon Sanderson book I ever read and it left me speechless! Before reading this, I saw it recommended everywhere. Therefore, I went into it with incredibly high expectations and it still exceeded them! This book was incredible in every way, shape, and form. The characters are some of the best I’ve ever read and the magic system is so refreshingly original! I can’t wait to continue with this series.”

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“I loved the characters so much. The plot was insane and complex. While it wasn’t the most fast paced I still wanted to be in the world and know what was going on and what was going to happen next. The magic system is very interesting and the different metals and how vin learned each one from someone new. The lord ruler being someone else and not who we thought the whole time! Kelsiers brother becoming something else. Kelsier dying. I loved Elena with my whole heart. Hopefully he is a good king.”
