The Bands of Mourning Cover and Synopsis Reveal
We don't even have Shadows of Self, the next Wax and Wayne Mistborn book, but we now have the cover for The Bands of Mourning, as well as a very interesting plot synopsis. Bands comes out January 2016, two months after Shadows. Check out the cover. And if you don't want spoilers, don't read on.
Stuff about the Lord Ruler? Mysteriously being in the snow, rather than in just Elendel, holy crap.With The Alloy of Law and Shadows of Self, Brandon Sanderson surprised readers with a New York Times bestselling spinoff of his Mistborn books, set after the action of the trilogy, in a period corresponding to late 19th-century America.
Now, with The Bands of Mourning, Sanderson continues the story. 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. But now 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, and along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.
Oh, and perhaps most importantly: Why the crap can anyone use the Lord Ruler's metalminds? We'll find out, I suppose, in The Bands of Mourning.
