"From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, "Mistborn: Secret History" is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy. Building upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy, this novella offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes at the fate of a certain reader-favorite character. Ten years in the making, "Mistborn: Secret History" might answer a few of your questions"-- Kelsier, sentenced to die mining the Pits of Hathsin after attempting to rob the Lord Rule's palace, rose to become a powerful Mistborn: his name and deeds passed into legend. But much of his legend is hidden in shadows. Think you know the story of the Mistborn? Think again. Even knowing of this tale's existence could be heresy.... You have been warned! -- adapted from back cover Provided by publisher.
