Mistborn Trilogy

From the author of the acclaimed "Elantris" comes the first novel in his Mistborn trilogy–a story which dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? Reissue.

Mistborn: The Final Empire
The first of a trilogy, Mistborn: The Final Empire follows a sixteen year old streetwise thief named Vin. Living in Luthadel, the capital city of the Final Empire, she ekes out a living by working with one of the many thieving crews that abound in the city. Kelsier is a well-to-do crew boss who is always thinking up extreme ways to make money off the noble class. After fate pulls them together, Kelsier must teach Vin how to harness the latent Mistborn abilities within her so that she can help him overthrow the Lord Ruler, who has ruled the Final Empire for over a thousand years. Mistborn: The Final Empire was released in July 2006.

Mistborn: The Well of Ascension
The second volume in the trilogy, The Well of Ascension Picks up one year after the first book ends. Vin is now acting as a bodyguard to Elend, who is now king over the Central Dominance with its capital in Luthadel. Kelsier, her mentor and friend, is now dead, having given his life to bring about the end of the Final Empire and its Lord Ruler. Mistborn: The Well of Ascension was released in August 2007.[6]

Mistborn: The Hero of Ages
This is the final volume in the trilogy, released on 14th October 2008 . Vin has released something which was held captive for over a thousand years. She now has to figure out how to recapture it, save Elend, and save the world in the process.
