Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice. <p/>One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn, who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. After twenty years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs. <p/><b>Other Tor books by Brandon Sanderson</b> <p/><b>The Cosmere</b><br><b><br>The Stormlight Archive</b><br><i>The Way of Kings</i><br><i>Words of Radiance</i><br><i>Edgedancer </i>(Novella)<br><i>Oathbringer</i> <b> <p/>The Mistborn trilogy</b><br><i>Mistborn: The Final Empire<br>The Well of Ascension<br>The Hero of Ages <p/></i><b>Mistborn: The Wax and Wayne series</b><br><i>Alloy of Law<br>Shadows of Self<br>Bands of Mourning</i> <p/><b>Collection</b><br><i>Arcanum Unbounded</i> <p/><b>Other Cosmere novels</b><br><i>Elantris</i><br><i>Warbreaker</i> <p/><b>The Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series</b><br><i>Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians</i><br><i>The Scrivener's Bones</i><br><i>The Knights of Crystallia</i><br><i>The Shattered Lens</i><br><i>The Dark Talent</i> <p/><b>The Rithmatist series<br></b><i>The Rithmatist</i> <p/><b>Other books by Brandon Sanderson</b><br><b><br>The Reckoners</b><br><i>Steelheart</i><br><i>Firefight</i><br><i>Calamity</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre." --<i>Library Journal, starred review</i> <p/>"Part Sherlock Holmes, Part X-Men, this exciting stand-alone adventure is full of close shaves, shootouts, and witty banter." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Rive with laugh-out-loud moments, religious and philosophical ponderings, and plenty of crime-fighting action, this book fits nicely in any gun-holster." --<i>Booklist on The Alloy of Law</i> <p/>"An engaging and fun romp of a read.
