Three 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.
When family obligations forced Waxillium Ladrian to forsake the frontier lands and return to the metropolis of his birth to take his place as head of a noble House, he little imagined that the crime-fighting skills acquired during twenty years in the dusty plains would be just as applicable in the big city. He soon learned that there too, just being a talented Twinborn -- one who can use both Allomancy and Feruchemy, the dominant magical modes on Scadrial -- would not suffice.
This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society will now face its first test by terrorism and assassination, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax, his eccentric sidekick Wayne, and brilliant, beautiful young Marasi, now officially part of the constabulary, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife can stop Scadrial's progress in its tracks.
Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Adlibris.
Jag har alltid gillat Sandersons fantasybertättelser och speciellt den här ur Wax and Wayne serien eller Mistborn era två serien. Och det är inte annorlunda med den här. Har inte så mycket som jag vågar skriva om den då det här så långt in i serien, då det är stor risk med spoilers.
Jag gillar karaktärerna, världen med magin och politiken som pågår och hela handlingen. Får flera saker som förklaras men flera saker i handlingen som ännu ligger dolt som gör att jag ser framemot att läsa nästa del snarast.
