Book of Nails
Mistborn Era 2
Setting Scadrial, Cosmere

Book of Nails[1] (formerly Boatload of Mummies) is the planned title of a Mistborn novel[2] starring Nikki Savage[3] and written by Isaac Stewart.[4][5] It will be organized similarly to Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, although her "sensationalized" version of the story will only be in the epigraphs, with the actual events being recounted in the book.[6]

It has been suggested in the past that the novella might include an actress playing the role of Vin during a performance[7] and possibly Nazh in an antagonistic role.[4] As of 2022, the first draft of the novel is complete.[8] It is expected to be longer than 60,000 words.[9]

Synopsis

“An adventurous woman with erratic magical powers travels with an expedition to an island to find a legendary book with the power to raise an undead army. ”

— a tentative description of the book's plot by author Isaac Stewart[9]
