Next month, Gollancz are due to publish a collectors’ hardcover edition of Brandon Sanderson‘s second Mistborn novel, THE WELL OF ASCENSION. The new cover is above. Here’s the synopsis…
The Dark Lord is dead, and now a new world can be built.
The impossible has happened. The Lord Ruler is dead has been vanquished. But so too is Kelsier the man who masterminded the triumph. The awesome task of rebuilding the world has been left to his protege Vin; a one-time street urchin, now the most powerful Mistborn in the land.
Worryingly for her, Vin has become the focus of a new religion, a development that leaves her intensely uneasy. More worryingly still the mists have become unpredictable since the Lord Ruler died and a strange vaprous entity is stalking Vin.
As the siege of Luthadel intensifies the ancient legend of the Well of Ascension offers the only glimmer of hope. But no-one knows where it is or what it can do…
Gollancz published a collectors’ edition of the first novel in the series, THE FINAL EMPIRE, last year. Gollancz has publish the entire series in the UK (currently six novels), as well as a host of Brandon’s other novels and novellas.
