Descrip­tions

Wax Ladrian, l’ancien garde-loi des Rocailles, est aujourd’hui marié, père de deux enfants et sénateur d’Élendel. Il continue malgré tout à traquer le Cercle, l’organisation criminelle dirigée par sa sœur Telsin, qui kidnappe depuis des années des personnes ayant des ancêtres allomanciens et dont la corruption s’étend jusqu’au cœur du Sénat. Alors, lorsque dans une planque du Cercle, les constables Marasi et Wayne découvrent du trellium, un métal aux propriétés explosives provenant d’une autre planète, ainsi qu’un stock d’armes destiné à la cité de Bilming, Wax décide de revêtir une dernière fois son manteau de brume afin de mettre un terme aux agissements de sa sœur… Avec Le Métal perdu, Brandon Sanderson offre une conclusion épique et magistrale aux aventures de Wax et Wayne, et continue d’approfondir et de développer son univers partagé : le Cosmère.

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 reveals that Harmony's power is blocked in Bilming. That means the city 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.

Harmony's vision of future possibilities comes to an abrupt halt tomorrow night, with only blackness after that. It's a race against time, and 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.
