'''''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 should be read after ''[[The Bands of Mourning]]''.

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.
== Trivia ==
▲1. With no connection to the Physical Realm, the [[Metallic Arts]] on Scadrial are useless.
* When referring to "[[Hoid|Drifter]]", [[Preservation]] calls him Cephandrius.
== Postscript ==
Note: the Postscript is found in ''[[Arcanum Unbounded]]'', a collection of Cosmere stories.
This story was planned while writing the [[Mistborn (series)|original trilogy]] and was worked on here and there for years. Once ''The Bands of Mourning'' was written, [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]] realized that readers needed more information on what Kelsier was doing behind the scenes, so he finished it up.
Resurrecting characters is a "dangerous trope" because Brandon wants death to be a real danger for his characters. So he made sure that Kelsier's survival was hinted at and foreshadowed sufficiently.
▲2. At least some of the Ire are [[Worldhoppers]] from [[Sel]], as they use the exclamation of "Merciful Domi!" and have names associated with [[Aon|Aons]] (Ire, Elrao, etc.)
There may be more installments to the ''Secret History'' story, showing more of what Kelsier is up to behind the scenes with Spook and during [[Mistborn_(series)#Era_2|the Wax and Wayne books]].
▲3. While at the Well, Kelsier meets [[Hoid]] (who he calls Drifter) when he arrives to take a lerasium bead.
== Cover Gallery ==
▲4. Kelsier has an appearance in ''[[The Bands of Mourning]]'', in a vision given to Wax.
