The Bands of Mourning

by Brandon Sanderson

Book 3 of the Mistborn Era Two series

Rumors of the legendary Bands of Mourning suggest that the Lord Ruler left behind an artifact granting extraordinary Allomantic and Feruchemical power. Wax and his companions travel beyond Elendel, where a diplomatic mission becomes a contest with the shadowy Set and reveals peoples omitted from accepted history. Steris's planning proves increasingly valuable while Wax confronts discoveries about family, technology, and the wider world. Adventurous and revelation-heavy, this installment suits readers who enjoy magical artifacts, train travel, expanding maps, understated romance, and series lore overturned by evidence no one expected to find.
