The Alloy of Law – Mistborn: Wax & Wayne, Book 1

Description

“The Alloy of Law” is the first book in the Wax & Wayne series—set in the same world as the original Mistborn trilogy but taking place 300 years later. Technology has advanced, with railroads, electric lights, and revolvers now part of the world of Scadrial, but Allomancy and Feruchemy remain powerful forces in society.

At the heart of this evolution is Waxillium “Wax” Ladrian, a nobleman turned lawman who returns to the city of Elendel after years of frontier justice. Struggling to balance his duties to his noble house with his instinct for justice, Wax teams up with his irreverent, loyal partner Wayne, whose powers and personality clash perfectly with his own.

When a mysterious group known as the Vanishers begins kidnapping women and stealing cargo using strange Allomantic abilities, Wax and Wayne—joined by the clever and resourceful Marasi Colms—set out to uncover the conspiracy threatening the city.
