From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, a newly-designed boxed set showcasing where the Mistborn Saga all began―the original trilogy.
Once, a hero rose to save the world. He failed. For a thousand years since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist, ruled by the immortal emperor known as the Lord Ruler. Every revolt has failed miserably.
Somehow, hope survives. Hope that dares to dream of ending the empire and defeating the Lord Ruler. A new kind of uprising is being planned―one that depends on the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind and the determination of an unlikely heroine: a teenage street urchin named Vin. Once, a hero rose to save the world and failed. This time, can a young heroine succeed?
Mistborn:
For a thousand years, the ash has fallen and no flowers have bloomed. For a thousand years, the Skaa have slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years, the Lord Ruler has reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror. Until Kelsier, a brilliant, half-Skaa thief and natural leader, finds in himself the powers of a Mistborn, and turns his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
The Well of Ascension:
The impossible task has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler has been vanquished. But with Kelsier dead, too, the awesome task of building a new world has been left to former street urchin and Kelsier's protégé, Vin, who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land. Vin is now worshipped as a hero in her own right, but she is haunted by a strange, vaporous entity hidden in the mists.
The Hero of Ages:
Having escaped death only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture now hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. But with the return of lethal mists, increasingly heavy ashfalls, and ever more powerful earthquakes, Elend and Vin aren't sure that killing the Lord Ruler to end the Final Empire was the right thing to do after all.
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of life-changing fiction
brings her signature "emotional, heart-tugging" (Woman's World)
prose to this wise and worldly novel of forgiveness and hope in the
City of Lights. In Indiana, Ashley Baxter Blake and her husband are
about to take an anniversary trip to Paris, but she is hesitant.
More than two decades ago, she made her most grievous mistake in
that same city. She has never forgiven herself for what happened
there, and she still harbors secrets that she's afraid will come to
light. Just before the trip, Ashley gets a call from her niece.
Jessie explains that her French boyfriend's mother remembers
working at a bakery with an American named Ashley. "Could that be
you?" When Alice and Ashley meet, a flood of memories comes for
both women, taking Ashley back to a reckless affair and an
unexpected pregnancy and Alice to the night she nearly ended it
all. Can this reunion bring healing and closure? Maybe it is
finally time for Ashley to forgive herself...and Paris.
