The Bands of Mourning - Brandon Sanderson

\n \nFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.\n \nThree hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.\n \nThe Bands of Mourning are the mythical metal minds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.\n \nOther Tor books by Brandon Sanderson\n \nThe Cosmere \n \nThe Stormlight Archive \nThe Way of Kings \nWords of Radiance \nEdgedancer (Novella) \nOathbringer \n \nThe Mistborn trilogy \nMistborn: The Final Empire \nThe Well of Ascension \nThe Hero of Ages \n \nMistborn: The Wax and Wayne series \nAlloy of Law \nShadows of Self \nBands of Mourning\n \nCollection \nArcanum Unbounded\n \nOther Cosmere novels \nElantris \nWarbreaker\n \nThe Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series \nAlcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians \nThe Scrivener's Bones \nThe Knights of Crystallia \nThe Shattered Lens \nThe Dark Talent\n \nThe Rithmatist series \nThe Rithmatist\n \nOther books by Brandon Sanderson \n \nThe Reckoners \nSteelheart \nFirefight \nCalamity\n
