Old magic in a changing Scadrial

Set three centuries after the original Mistborn trilogy, The Alloy of Law brings Scadrial to the edge of modernity, where frontier justice and emerging city life meet. Waxillium Ladrian’s twin abilities—pushing on metals and changing his own weight—connect the series’ magic to his work in the Roughs. After a personal tragedy brings him back to Elendel and the obligations of a noble house, a gang using Allomancy for train robberies and kidnappings draws him into danger within the metropolis. The book’s central contrast is between the open frontier and the city’s polished streets, with old powers operating in a society beginning to change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fantasy that combines magical abilities with crime and political intrigue.
  • Readers who enjoy frontier settings alongside a growing metropolis.
  • Readers familiar with the Mistborn trilogy who want to explore Scadrial several centuries later.

Book overview

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, Kelsier and Vin have passed into the realm of history and myth, and the world of Scadrial is on the verge of modernity. In the frontier lands known as the Roughs, the old magics are a crucial tool for those who establish order and justice.

One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn, who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. After twenty years in the Roughs, tragedy has driven Wax back to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties of the head of a noble house. But when a gang of Allomancers turn to train robbery and kidnapping, Wax will soon learn that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs.
