Revision as of 02:37, 12 October 2019
Mistborn is a fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. It is a major part of the cosmere sequence and is set mostly on the Shardworld Scadrial.
It is most well known as the trilogy of Mistborn: The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension and The Hero of Ages, but there have been additional installments. Brandon originally planned a "trilogy of trilogies" but this has been expanded into a number of series over various eras in the history of Scadrial.
Era 1: First Mistborn Trilogy
The first Mistborn trilogy chronicles the efforts of a secret group of Allomancers who attempt to overthrow a dystopian empire and establish themselves in a world covered by ash.

Era 2: Wax and Wayne Series
Set about 300 years after Era 1, the Wax and Wayne series is about the exploits of Waxillium Ladrian, a "wild-west Deputy" forced to move into the big city, and starts investigating kidnappings and robberies.

2011 | The Alloy of Law | #1 | Novel | ||
2015 | Shadows of Self | #2 | Novel | [1] [2] [3] | |
2016 | The Bands of Mourning | #3 | Novel | [1] [4] [3] | |
~2020 | The Lost Metal | #4 | Novel | Not Released | [5] |
2014 | Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania | N/A | Short Story | Released in the Alloy of Law supplement of the Mistborn Adventure Game, later in Arcanum Unbounded | [6] |
The Alloy of Law was initially conceived as one of several short stories Brandon wanted to set between the first and second main trilogies that eventually grew into a full novel, and then a series.[7] The Wax and Wayne series is a single four book series, however The Alloy of Law stands more-or-less alone while the rest are plotted together like a trilogy.[8]
Brandon has also said that he may do some more stories before the second trilogy, set in a 1940's society.[8]
Era 3: Second Mistborn Trilogy
The second trilogy will be set in the early computer age with 1980s technology. The main character is planned as a Terris woman who is a computer programmer and Nicroburst; her brother is also planned to be a character.[9][10] Peter has described her as a "brown Terris geek girl", though he does point out that this could change by the time the series is actually being written.[11]
The Southern Scadrians will be well known by the rest of Scadrial in this era.[12]
Brandon had initially planned for the trilogy to feature an Allomancer SWAT team, but is now leaning more towards a spy thriller.[13] It will probably be released in the 2020s, after Stormlight 5 and the Elantris sequels.[14]
Era 4: Third Mistborn Trilogy
The third trilogy is going to be a space-opera with Allomancy-powered faster-than-light technology.[15] Hoid will be a main character in this trilogy.[16] The Sleepless, or Dysian Aimians, will also have a major role in this trilogy.[17]
There may be two more currently untitled cosmere series written before this trilogy.[8]
