Shadows of Self: a Mistborn novel

In the thriving metropolis of Elendel, set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing late 19th-century North America, turmoil brews beneath the surface. Waxillium "Wax" Ladrian, once a legendary lawman of the Roughs, now seeks a quieter life as he prepares for his impending marriage to the practical Steris. However, peace proves elusive as unrest spreads through the city—grueling working conditions, rampant industrialization, and political corruption stir the masses into discontent. When an audacious attack during a clandestine meeting leaves the city's criminal elite—and the governor's own brother—slain, chaos tightens its grip on Elendel. Undeterred by the looming danger, Wax is compelled to uncover the truth behind these brutal murders. With his loyal ally Wayne by his side and the sharp-witted Marasi, Steris's half-sister and a rising star in the police force, Wax dives into a tangled web of intrigue and danger. "Shadows of Self" by Brandon Sanderson weaves a masterful tale of mystery and justice in a world where magic and technology coexist. As Wax battles to restore order, readers will be captivated by the rich world-building and complex characters that make this Mistborn novel an exhilarating page-turner.
