The Lost Metal

A Mistborn Novel

By: Brandon Sanderson

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

"Michael Kramer is my favorite among all audiobook narrators. I was thrilled to have him on the Mistborn series, and he did such an amazing job I can’t imagine having anyone else be the voice of these characters." —Brandon Sanderson

Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal.

For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set—with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders—since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between Elendel and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate—whose corruption Wax and Steris have sought to expose—and Bilming is even more entangled.

After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial’s god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn’t the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere—Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost.

Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.

Critic reviews

Praise for Brandon Sanderson and the Mistborn Saga

“A breathtaking saga that promises twists every step of the way… succeeds in celebrating what makes fantasy magical while simultaneously delivering a fresh adventure that’s endlessly entertaining.” —Paste Magazine, “The 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far),” on Mistborn

“Sanderson is an evil genius. There is simply no other way to describe what he's managed to pull off in this transcendent final volume of his Mistborn trilogy.” —RT Book Reviews, Gold Medal, Top Pick, on The Hero of Ages

“Rollicking adventure … Part Sherlock Holmes, part X-Men, this exciting stand-alone adventure is full of close shaves, shootouts, and witty banter.” —Publishers Weekly on The Alloy of Law

“A fresh view of how a world can grow, building new dimensions into the best of the old. Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre.” —Library Journal, starred review, on The Alloy of Law

“An engaging and fun romp of a read. The characters really shine in this book.” —RT Book Reviews on The Alloy of Law

“Delivers more excitement, adventure, and magic in a newly industrialized world that is as richly realized as any of Sanderson’s creations.” —Buzzfeed on Shadows of Self

“Witty, memorable characters; a fast-moving, plate-spinning plot; and a deepening of one of the most creative magic systems ever conceived: it’s everything a Sanderson fan could ask for.” —B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog on The Bands of Mourning

Oye mate,

You gotta read the last book of a story within a story what has a good beginning thats pretending to be an ending.

Awesome, with one minor exception

This book is a great end to the series. My only hesitation is Wayne. He's a great character but man, Sanderson needs to shorten his dialogue. Hearing someone spouting off idiotic (Which is in character) stuff for minutes of audio is tedious. Some could be shortened to "Wayne thoroughly explained X" Some could be slightly tweaked to fit the plot a bit better, but man some of it was awful. Wayne is that way, but I had to skip sections because I really couldn't put up with some of Wayne's excessive monologues. Witty banter and dumb sayings are clever, long-winded explanations in the middle of tense scenes are a waste of ink and audio time

Great end to a fantastic trilogy!

if you're reading this; stop wasting your time a get this audiobook. Stop dilly dallying and enjoy!

Michael Kramer really is irreplaceable

i’m mad at Brando right now so i’m just going to say how lucky we are that Kramer keeps returning to the Cosmere
