The first book in the phenomenally popular Mistborn trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson is now available in trade paperback.
Ash fell and no flowers blossomed for a millennium. The Skaa lived in terror and slavery for a millennium. The Lord Ruler was divinely invincible and ruled with supreme fear and power for a millennium. The wounded and saddened half-Skaa Kelsier then discovered within himself the abilities of a Mistborn, just when all hope had been gone.
Kelsier, a cunning thief and born leader, assembles the most cunning and reliable allomancers from the underground, who all possess one of his numerous abilities and love a good high-stakes game. That is when he finally shares his biggest desire, which is not only the largest theft in history but also the overthrow of the heavenly tyrant.
However, even with the most talented gang ever put together, Kel's scheme seems to have little chance of success—that is, until fate hands him a tattered girl called Vin. She's an orphan of half-Skaa, much like him, but her life has been even more difficult. Vin has come to anticipate treachery from everyone she encounters. If Kel is to assist her in mastering abilities she has never imagined, she will need to learn to trust.
