The hero who was meant to save the world failed.
For a thousand years, ash has fallen from the sky, mist has haunted the night, and the immortal tyrant known as the Lord Ruler has held the world in his iron grip. Hope has become dangerous. Rebellion has become almost impossible.
But impossible is exactly the kind of odds Kelsier likes.
A brilliant thief with a plan too bold to survive, Kelsier begins assembling a crew for the ultimate heist: overthrow the empire itself. At the center of that plan is Vin, a wary street urchin who has spent her life trusting no one and expecting betrayal at every turn.
Vin soon discovers she carries a rare and powerful gift — the abilities of a Mistborn. As she learns to master magic, deception, and the deadly politics of a broken world, she may become the key to a rebellion that should never stand a chance.
Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy, impossible heists, found family, rebellion, powerful magic systems, dark empires, and heroines who rise from survival into something legendary.
