The Hero <strong>of</strong> Ages<br />
Book Three <strong>of</strong> Mistborn<br />
BRANDON SANDERSON<br />
The astonishing conclusion <strong>of</strong> the Mistborn trilogy<br />
To end the Final Empire, Vin and Kelsier killed the Lord Ruler.<br />
As a result, the Deepness—the mists’ lethal form—is back,<br />
along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and powerful earthquakes.<br />
Humanity appears to be doomed.<br />
Having escaped death at the climax <strong>of</strong> The Well <strong>of</strong> Ascension<br />
only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture<br />
hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow<br />
him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been<br />
tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the<br />
Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its cosmic power makes<br />
stopping it seem hopeless. Yet, as Kelsier taught, they refuse to<br />
give up.<br />
The conclusion <strong>of</strong> the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first two books. Revelations abound, deeply rooted connections<br />
click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning,<br />
blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to<br />
a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave<br />
readers rubbing their eyes in wonder and amazement.<br />
“Sanderson’s hallmark is to take traditional high <strong>fantasy</strong> tropes and<br />
turn them upside down, and he doesn’t disappoint here.Vin’s a<br />
beautifully realized protagonist whose struggles are wonderfully<br />
written and, as always, the worldbuilding is unusual and compelling.”<br />

“This entertaining read will especially please those who always<br />
wanted to know what happened after the good guys won.”<br />
