The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson (Paperback)

The Lost Metal concludes Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: Wax and Wayne series with an explosive and far-reaching story of magic, politics, and destiny. Lawman turned senator Waxillium Ladrian has long fought the shadowy organisation known as the Set — a group whose corruption reaches deep into Elendel’s government and whose leaders include Wax’s own family.

When Detective Marasi Colms and Wayne uncover a cache of weapons bound for the rebellious city of Bilming, they expose a dangerous conspiracy that could ignite war. As tensions rise between Elendel and the Outer Cities, Wax learns of a devastating new explosive and a godlike force manipulating events behind the scenes.

The immortal kandra of Harmony warns that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god — Trell — whose presence threatens not only the city but all of Scadrial. With offworlders intervening and destruction on the horizon, Wax must decide whether to accept the divine role he’s long resisted and become the weapon Harmony intended him to be.

Sanderson delivers a thrilling finale filled with mystery, sacrifice, and cosmic connections that expand the Mistborn universe across the wider Cosmere. The Lost Metal is a masterful blend of adventure, emotional depth, and epic world-building, bringing Wax and Wayne’s story to a powerful and satisfying close.
