Now he returns to the series that made his name with a new story, building on the incredible success of THE ALLOY OF LAW. The new Mistborn books move the series into a richly imagined 19th century analogue world with elements of the wild west mixed with magic and science. It's a wonderful concoction from a master storyteller. Sanderson has the knack of giving the epic fantasy reader exactly what they want...

Elantris, la citta degli dèi. Abitata da creature di una bellezza splendente, è un luogo di fulgore e magia. Un luogo di felicita eterna. Ma all'improvviso quell'eternita ha fine. Elantris diventa un luogo di tetra disperazione: i suoi abitanti, colpiti da un'orrenda maledizione, diventano misere creature i cui corpi hanno dimenticato di essere morti e la citta diventa la loro tomba. E quella maledizione può colpire chiunque: anche Raoden, il principe ereditario del regno di Arelon. All'insaputa di tutti, il giovane viene rinchiuso tra le mura di Elantris, dove sara costretto a fare i conti con una civilta imbarbarita. Agli occhi del mondo lui è morto, anche per Sarene, la principessa che si preparava a diventare sua sposa, sperando, dopo una lunga corrispondenza, di trovare l'amore oltre le ragioni di Stato. Dovra affrontare da sola gli intrighi di corte di Arelon e una nuova minaccia rappresentata da Hrathen, un alto sacerdote giunto dal regno ostile di Fjorden: è venuto per redimere Arelon o per distruggerla? Né Sarene né Hrathen sanno la verita su Raoden, ma forse sara proprio lui a svelare il segreto dietro la maledizione di Elantris e a dare un nuovo futuro al suo regno. Un'opera ispirata e originale che ha rivelato Brandon Sanderson come una delle maggiori promesse della letteratura fantasy contemporanea.

To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin kills the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists called the Deepness is back, along with ashfalls and earthquakes. Now, humanity appears to be doomed, in this conclusion to the Mistborn trilogy.

Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale spinner, author of the acclaimed debut "Elantris," dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises and magical martial-arts action that begins in "Mistborn." For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot. But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life.
