Scadrial is now on the brink of modernity, three centuries after the events of the Mistborn trilogy. Railroads are replacing the canals, electric lighting is present in both the streets and the mansions of the affluent, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers are racing towards the skies.
The Lord Ruler's legendary metal brains, known as the Bands of Mourning, are said to bestow upon their wearers the ability to command all abilities. Seldom does anybody really believe they exist. A kandra researcher has come back to Elendel with texts in a language no one can comprehend and pictures that seem to be of the Bands. Waxillium Ladrian is sent to investigate by traveling south to the city of New Seran. Along the journey, he finds clues that allude to his uncle Edwarn's actual intentions and the mysterious group known as The Set.
