At the end of last week, Gollancz unveiled another fantastic cover for the UK edition of Brandon Sanderson‘s upcoming sixth Mistborn novel, THE BANDS OF MOURNING. Due to be published in January 2016, here’s the synopsis (take from the US edition, published by Tor)…

The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metalminds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.

The fifth novel in the tremendously-popular series, SHADOWS OF SELF, is due to be published next week in the UK, also by Gollancz. Brandon will be in the UK, touring in support of the novel’s release. You can find details here.
