Book 1 of the Mistborn series
657 pages · First published 2006
A thousand years after the prophesied hero failed, the immortal Lord Ruler governs a brutal empire where ash falls from the sky and the skaa live under oppression. Kelsier, a legendary survivor and gifted Mistborn, assembles a crew of specialists for an impossible plan: overthrow the empire by treating revolution like the ultimate heist. His most important recruit is Vin, a suspicious street thief who discovers that the strange instincts keeping her alive are powerful Allomantic abilities. Brandon Sanderson opens the Mistborn trilogy with an intricate metal-based magic system, political rebellion, found family, and a con whose target is effectively a god.
