To end the Final Empire, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But in doing so, she was tricked into releasing a far greater threat: the malevolent, godlike force known as Ruin. Now, the world is dying. Ever-heavier ashfalls choke the sky, massive earthquakes tear the land apart, and the mists themselves have become a deadly poison, killing those they touch. Humanity appears to be doomed, and the force orchestrating its end seems omniscient, capable of twisting reality and anticipating every move.

Consumed by guilt, Vin must race to decipher the true meaning of ancient prophecies that Ruin itself may have corrupted. At her side, Emperor Elend Venture, now a powerful Mistborn, struggles to unite the scattered remnants of civilization and find some lost knowledge that could offer a sliver of hope. With the end of all things looming, they must find a way to fight an enemy that cannot be killed and trust in a legend - the Hero of Ages - that may be their final, desperate lie or their only path to salvation.
