Building a society after the revolution

After the fall of the Lord Ruler, victory gives way to the harder work of governing. Vin and Elend face rising tensions as they try to shape a new society from the remains of the empire, while an ancient legend points toward the mysterious Well of Ascension and an unknown power. The novel shifts the series’ central question from how to overthrow an oppressive ruler to what follows when that ruler is gone, joining political uncertainty with an epic-fantasy search whose stakes remain unclear.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fantasy about the aftermath of revolution and the challenge of building a new society.
  • Those who enjoy political intrigue alongside an ancient mystery and epic-fantasy stakes.
  • Readers continuing the Mistborn series after the fall of the Lord Ruler.

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.

They did the impossible, ending the thousand-year reign of the godlike Lord Ruler. Now Vin, the former street urchin turned powerful Mistborn, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire.

As tensions grow in the wake of the uprising, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.

It may just be that killing the Lord Ruler was the easy part. Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge.
