'''''Mistborn''''' is a fantasy series by [[Brandon Sanderson]]. It is a major part of the [[cosmere]] sequence and is set mostly on the [[ShardworldCosmere#Planets|planet]] [[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.
