Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga. Who is the Hero of Ages? To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness??the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists??is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed. Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!

Sanderson's conclusion to the epic that began with Mistborn and continued in Well of Ascension resonates with all the elements of classic heroic fantasy, along with unusual forms of magic and strong, believable characters.

Sanderson pulls loose ends together, explains vague prophecies, and produces the Hero of Ages, and the Mistborn trilogy concludes satisfactorily.

Sanderson's saga of consequences offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith and responsibility.

Opgedragen aan Jordan Sanderson, die aan iedereen zou kunnen uitleggen hoe het is om een broer te hebben die het grootste deel van zijn leven verdroomt.

Boekbeschrijving
Om de vrede te herstellen in het Laatste Rijk, moest Vin de Opperheer uitschakelen, maar dat liep anders af dan ze had verwacht. En nu is ook nog de Diepte terug - de dodelijke vorm van de alomtegenwoordige nevels. Zwaardere asregens en krachtiger aardbevingen dan ooit tevoren zijn een ware plaag. De mensheid lijkt ten dode opgeschreven...
Vins geliefde, Elend Ventra, heeft de aanslag bij de Bron der Verheffing nauwelijks overleefd en is, nu hij zijn Nevelmenskracht heeft ontdekt, op zoek naar aanwijzingen van de Opperheer zodat hij de wereld kan redden. Zijn zoektocht verloopt niet bepaald voorspoedig.
Vin voelt zich ondertussen zo schuldig over het laten ontsnappen van de vernietigende en mystieke kracht uit de Bron, dat de moed om terug te vechten haar is vergaan. Vooral als blijkt dat de kracht in staat is om de werkelijkheid te vervormen en zodoende de wereld in het tijdsbestek van een vingerknip te vernietigen.
