Three centuries after the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial has advanced to the brink of the industrial age. But the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy still hold sway, especially in the frontier lands known as the Roughs. There, Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn with both powers, enforces order and justice with his guns and wits. But when a family tragedy forces Wax to return to the glittering city of Elendel, he must trade his weapons for the trappings of nobility - or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the streets of the metropolis can be even more treacherous than the Roughs.
