The #1 New York Times bestselling author returns to
the world of Mistborn with his first novel in the
series since The Alloy of Law.
With The
Alloy of Law, Brandon Sanderson surprised readers with
a
New York Times bestselling spinoff of his Mistborn
books, set after the action of the trilogy, in a period
corresponding to late 19th-century America.
The
trilogy's heroes are now figures of myth and legend, even
objects of religious veneration. They are succeeded by
wonderful new characters, chief among them Waxillium
Ladrian, known as Wax, hereditary Lord of House Ladrian but
also, until recently, a lawman in the ungoverned frontier
region known as the Roughs. There he worked with his
eccentric but effective buddy, Wayne. They are "twinborn,"
meaning they are able to use both Allomantic and
Feruchemical magic.
Shadows of Self shows
Mistborn's society evolving as technology and magic mix,
the
economy grows, democracy contends with corruption, and
religion becomes a growing cultural force, with four faiths
competing for converts.
This bustling, optimistic,
but still shaky society now faces its first instance of
terrorism, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and
religious conflict. Wax and Wayne, assisted by the lovely,
brilliant Marasi, must unravel the conspiracy before civil
strife stops Scadrial's progress in its tracks.
Shadows of Self will give fans of The
Alloy
of Law everything they've been hoping for and, this
being a Brandon Sanderson book, more, much more.
