The Well of Ascension

The Mistborn Saga #2

The impossible has happened. The Lord Ruler—the self-proclaimed god who ruled for a thousand years—has fallen. But victory came at a cost: Kelsier, the rebel hero who made it possible, is dead.

Now his legacy rests on Vin, the street urchin turned Mistborn, and Elend Venture, the idealistic nobleman she loves. Together, they must forge a new world from the ashes of the old—one teetering between freedom and chaos.

But even as Vin is worshipped by a rising faith she never asked for, darker omens stir. The mists behave strangely, whispering of something unseen that follows her. Assassins strike from the shadows, and three rival armies close in on Luthadel, each hungering for control—and for the Lord Ruler’s hidden reserve of atium, the most precious metal of all.

As the city braces for siege, hope flickers in an ancient legend: the Well of Ascension. Yet no one knows where it lies… or what power awaits those who find it.

And with every passing day, the mists grow bolder.
