Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series has become quintessential fantasy reading ever since the original Era 1 novels debuted in 2006, introducing readers to the ash-covered Final Empire and one of the genre's most inventive magic systems, Allomancy. The first trilogy consists of The Final Empire (2006), The Well of Ascension (2007), and The Hero of Ages (2008), telling a complete story centered on Vin, Kelsier, and the fate of Scadrial.
Rather than continuing directly afterward, Sanderson surprised fans by expanding the world through distinct "Eras," with each taking place hundreds of years later and exploring a different technological age. Era 2 began with The Alloy of Law (2011), followed by Shadows of Self (2015), The Bands of Mourning (2016), and The Lost Metal (2022), blending classic fantasy with frontier and detective elements. Together, both Eras showcase how Scadrial evolves across generations while remaining deeply connected through the wider Cosmere.
Now, Sanderson's iconic Mistborn saga officially returns to Era 2 in 2026 with an exciting new release, kicking off the start of a bold new chapter for fans of the franchise and the expanded Cosmere universe (via Dragonsteel Books).
