In Shadows of Self, Mistborn's society is shown to be growing as magic and technology merge, the economy grows, corruption threatens democracy, and religion becomes a growing cultural force, with four sects competing for converts.
This bustling, optimistic, but yet insecure society is now witnessing its first act of terrorism: crimes designed to incite labor unrest and religious conflict. Wax and Wayne must figure out the plan with the help of Marasi, who is both beautiful and smart, before civil war stops Scadrial's progress.
Shadows of Self will give fans of The Alloy of Law everything they've been hoping for—and much more, because it's a Brandon Sanderson book.
