Book Description
Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga. For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot. But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed. This saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails?

Book Description
Since back in prehistoric times, men and women have found the mystery, beauty, and power of stones irresistible. Just as an herbalist understands the powers of herbs, the practitioner of magic understands the powers of gems, crystals, and metals. They used this knowledge to change themselves and their very lives. Some may find it hard to believe that there is positive power within gems, crystals, stones, or metals. Yet, they totally accept the energy we get from food and the healing power of plants and herbs. It doesn't take such a leap of faith to believe that energy is inherent in all the earth and its fullness. Understanding those energies from the earth, which we are from as well, and then directing them for our better good - that is Magic. Magic is all about change. Without the need for change, there would be no need for magic. Making use of the energy all around us is folly to some, but others see the wisdom. The magician's philosophy is that all we are and all we see was given freely to us by an original source, to learn about and use for our good. Religion itself was born out of a set of beliefs shared by a particular group of people. Belief is the strongest force on the planet. Why else would men fight and die if they didn't believe in what they were fighting for? It is what we believe that moves our lives in the directions they go. Change your belief and you change your world. Energy from gems, stones, and metals help people do this.
