The Well Of Ascension: The Mistborn Series (Book 2)

Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action. The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler -- the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years -- has been vanquished. But Kelsier, the hero who masterminded that triumph, is dead too, and now the awesome task of building a new world has been left to his young protÃ©gÃ©, Vin, the former street urchin who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and to the idealistic young nobleman she loves. As Kelsier s protÃ©gÃ© and slayer of the Lord Ruler she is now venerated by a budding new religion, a distinction that makes her intensely uncomfortable. Even more worrying, the mists have begun behaving strangely since the Lord Ruler died, and seem to harbor a strange vaporous entity that haunts her. Stopping assassins may keep Vin s Mistborn skills sharp, but it s the least of her problems. Luthadel, the largest city of the former empire, doesn t run itself, and Vin and the other members of Kelsier s crew, who lead the revolution, must learn a whole new set of practical and political skills to help. It certainly won t get easier with three armies â€“ one of them composed of ferocious giants â€“ now vying to conquer the city, and no sign of the Lord Ruler s hidden cache of atium, the rarest and most powerful allomantic metal. As the siege of Luthadel tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.
