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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKelsier 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.

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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther Tor books by Brandon Sanderson\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Cosmere\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Stormlight Archive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Way of Kings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWords of Radiance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEdgedancer \u003c\/i\u003e(Novella)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOathbringer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mistborn trilogy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMistborn: The Final Empire\u003cbr\u003eThe Well of Ascension\u003cbr\u003eThe Hero of Ages \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMistborn: The Wax and Wayne series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlloy of Law\u003cbr\u003eShadows of Self\u003cbr\u003eBands of Mourning\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eArcanum Unbounded\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther Cosmere novels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eElantris\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWarbreaker\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Scrivener's Bones\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Knights of Crystallia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Shattered Lens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dark Talent\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Rithmatist series\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rithmatist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther books by Brandon Sanderson\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Reckoners\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteelheart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFirefight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCalamity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765311788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2006 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e166366 \/ Mistborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 33\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Brandon Sanderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36642500804764,"sku":"9780765311788","price":31.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1bfaf3ee-12a3-40c1-a25a-50dfaad51ea3.jpg?v=1603854977","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mistborn-the-final-empire-9780765311788","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
