Prophecy, deception, and a world in peril

The concluding volume of Mistborn’s original trilogy picks up after Vin releases the power held in the Well of Ascension—an act that unleashes Ruin, a godlike force bent on destroying the world. As Emperor Elend Venture searches for clues left by the Lord Ruler, Vin must confront the possibility that the prophecies guiding them have been corrupted. The book brings its conflict down to a question of trust: what can be believed when the very legends meant to offer hope may be part of the deception? Its epic-fantasy stakes are framed around the struggle to uncover truth before Ruin’s destruction overtakes the planet.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers continuing the first two books of the original Mistborn trilogy.
  • Fantasy readers interested in prophecy, political intrigue, and world-threatening stakes.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on uncovering hidden truths and confronting deceptive legends.

Book overview

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.

Vin fulfilled the prophecy and released the power gathered in the Well of Ascension. But it was all a trick, and now the godlike being Ruin has been unleashed on the world, bent on its destruction by earthquake and Fire.

Having escaped death only through becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture now hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will help them fight back. Legends speak of a hero, but were any prophecies not corrupted? To make up for being duped, Vin must unravel the truth so she can become the Hero of Ages before Ruin can wipe out all life on the planet.
