"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.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

HOLY COW!

This is one of the most intense books I've read/listened to. It goes and goes from start to finish. Also, don't be somewhere public the last 2 hours.

An exceptional ending from an author known for exquisite endings.

Michael Kramer once again nailed the narration. Other than that, it’s all you’d expect from Samdman.

Amazing conclusion

This was an amazing conclusion to the 2nd set of Mistborn Era 2 series. Wayne is hilarious as always, right to the end. Ties in a lot of things and references to the other planets in the Cosmere. Superlative narration as usual.

Brandon did it again.

I read it immediately and am not disappointed. This is a rival for his best Mistborn book and opens even more of his universe to us.

A work of art.

Exactly what a book needs to be

The lost metal is exactly what a book needs to be! I am extremely sad this particular book series has finished, but I am extremely happy with how it played out.

Another exceptional story.

While mistborn is not my favorite Sanderson series (now stormlight), the Lost Metal is an exceptional addition to the cosmere. I had a blast following the characters on this new adventure. They all grow so much and the stakes are higher. This book also serves to explain ALOT about the other cosmere details I've been dying to know. It connects other stories in a more solid way.

Michael Kramer does an incredible job again making all of the characters feel unique and conveying emotion.

Thank you again for making work suck less.
