'''''Mistborn: Secret History''''' is a novella telling the story of [[Kelsier]] from the time of his death at the hands of the [[Lord Ruler]] until [[Scadrial]] is re-made by [[Harmony]]. It was originally published as an e-book only, then later in print in ''[[Arcanum Unbounded]]''. This story is often recommended to be read after ''[[The Bands of Mourning]]'', but can be read anytime after ''[[The Hero of Ages]]''. It must be read before ''[[The Lost Metal]]''.
Following his death at the hands of the Lord Ruler, Kelsier meets [[Preservation]] before he "passes on" to the Beyond. Kelsier refuses, and he remains on Scadrial as a cognitive aspect. Despite refusing to pass on, as Preservation wishes, Kelsier befriends Preservation, giving him the nickname of [[Preservation|Fuzz]] (a crewmember name).
Desperate to prevent himself passing on, Kelsier tricks
During this time, [[Hoid]] arrives at the Well through the [[Cognitive Realm]]. Kelsier does not recognise Hoid from their prior meeting without his disguise, but is instantly distrustful towards Hoid. Although he engages him in a fistfight, Kelsier is unable to prevent Hoid from transitioning to the Physical Realm and helplessly watches Hoid consume a bead of [[Lerasium]] and exit the Well's chamber.
During his journey, Kelsier meets [[Khriss]] from [[Taldain]], and [[Nazh]] from [[Threnody]]. The pair enlighten Kelsier a little bit on how the events on Scadrial affect the [[cosmere]] but remain quite vague as to why they are there, or about events in the cosmere that are unrelated to the current conflict. Before parting, Nazh gives Kelsier his knife and wishes him well in his quest to save his planet. Along the way, Kelsier discovers many odd things about not being "alive" anymore. He finds that his [[Allomancy]] is useless and that he can create fire out of a log long since burned out simply by willing it to ignite.
Ruin visits Kelsier and tries to persuade the Survivor to give up on his quest. Kelsier doesn't give in and journeys on, leaving the Scadrial subastral, to find the [[Ire]]. He infiltrates their fortress and discovers that they are waiting for Preservation's death; hoping to steal the Shard afterwards using a device they have invented which renders the holder capable of Connecting to a Shard in order to become
Kelsier returns to [[Luthadel]] to find it in chaos. Upon arrival, however, he is told to go to [[Fadrex City|Fadrex]] by Preservation. Here, Kelsier finds Vin, but he is unable to get close enough to tell her anything about Ruin's plan, as
Soon after, Kelsier finds out that [[Leras]] (Preservation) is about to die, so he smashes the device and takes up the power of Preservation. Before he dies, Leras gives Kelsier one final instruction, as he gave him so long ago in the [[Pits of Hathsin]]: survive. Kelsier then tries to fight Ruin, but is unsuccessful, as his status as Cognitive Shadow is not enough to overcome the Intent of the shard to preserve. Instead, he tries to find a place where Ruin's influence is weaker. He finds it in [[Urteau]], where [[Spook]] is spiked and is being induced to murder by Ruin. Kelsier intervenes, and Spook is freed from Ruin's influence. He appears to Spook in a dream, affirming his pride of the young man, and instructs him to warn Vin not to trust anyone pierced by metal.
[[Goradel]], a messenger with Kelsier's warning about spikes, travels from Urteau to Fadrex, while Kelsier watches, but Ruin sends for Marsh, who kills Goradel and reads the message aloud to Ruin. Kelsier appears to
Kelsier follows Ruin to Vin, where she is being tortured by Marsh to get the location of the atium. Ruin thinks he has won, until Marsh rips out Vin's earring, allowing her to be free of Ruin, and take the power of Preservation from Kelsier. The message had been intended by Kelsier to be intercepted by Marsh; Kelsier bet on his brother being able to break free for a critical moment. The transfer of power almost kills him, but Kelsier again refuses to die, and watches as Vin sacrifices herself to stop Ruin. Upon Vin's and Elend's deaths, the pair meet Kelsier in the [[Cognitive Realm]], where they all watch as [[Sazed]] takes up the powers of both shards to form Harmony. After a brief conversation with Kelsier, Vin and Elend pass on. Kelsier asks the newly formed Harmony if there is any way for him to return to the Physical Realm. Harmony tells him there is not, but Kelsier concludes that his old friend is a terrible liar.
Following the reorganization of the world, Kelsier recruits Spook, who, by virtue of Sazed's new power, is now able to see him, to help him regain a [[Connection]] to the Physical Realm by playing with Hemalurgy.
