About the Book:

In The Alloy of Law, Brandon Sanderson masterfully blends the thrilling action and rich magic system of the Mistborn series with a fresh, modern twist. Wax’s journey from the Roughs to the heart of Elendel is fraught with danger, intrigue, and a new wave of challenges that will test his abilities and resolve in unexpected ways. This new chapter in the Mistborn Saga is a riveting tale of transformation, legacy, and the enduring struggle for justice in a world balancing between past and future.

Three hundred years have passed since the events of the original Mistborn trilogy, and Scadrial has undergone a transformation. The world now teeters on the brink of modernity, with railroads supplementing the canals, electric lights illuminating the streets and homes of the wealthy, and steel-framed skyscrapers stretching towards the sky. The heroes of old—Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and others—have become legends, their exploits woven into the fabric of history and religion.

Despite these advancements, the ancient powers of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to influence this reborn world. In the frontier lands known as the Roughs, these magics are indispensable to the brave men and women striving to maintain law and order. One such individual is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn who can Push metals with Allomancy and alter his weight with Feruchemy.

After twenty years of dispensing justice in the Roughs, Wax is forced to return to the bustling metropolis of Elendel due to a family tragedy. He reluctantly sets aside his guns to embrace the responsibilities and decorum expected of the head of a noble house. However, Wax soon discovers that the sophisticated mansions and elegant, tree-lined streets of the city can be just as perilous as the untamed frontier.
