It is preceded by ''[[The Final Empire]]'' and followed by ''[[The Hero of Ages]]''. The book follows the remaining members of [[Kelsier\|Kelsier's]] crew as they try to bring stability to [[Luthadel]] and the rest of the [[Final Empire]] in the chaos following the death of [[The Lord Ruler]]. Faced with armies laying ~~seige~~siege to the city outside the walls, political factions and unrest among the newly-freed skaa within, and a new, sinister change in behaviour from the mists themselves, [[Vin]], and the rest of the crew, along with the newly crowned King [[Elend Venture]], must find a way to protect the fledgling empire they have created. == ~~Cover~~ Synopsis == '''Evil has been defeated.''' It may just be that killing the Lord Ruler was the easy part. Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge. == ~~Plot~~ Summary == {{for\|/Summary\|a chapter by chapter summary}} Almost a year has passed since the revolution that deposed the Lord Ruler. Elend Venture has transformed the ancient empire's capital city into a democratic kingdom over which he presides. Elend's own father, [[Straff Venture]] has brought an army from the north to take control of the city, but the arrival of another army led out of the west by [[Ashweather Cett]] — tricked into coming by [[Breeze]] forces the city into an extended seige. Elend and the crew decide to play a dangerous game, trying to incite the two armies to attack one another by convincing each that Luthadel will ally with them in the battle. The later arrival of a third, even more dangerous army of [[koloss]] led by Elend's once-friend [[Jastes Lekal]] strains the tensions in the city even farther. In addition to this, Vin and Elend find that a kandra—most likely sent by one of the armies—has killed and replaced someone within the walls, though they have no idea who it might be. == Cover Gallery == {{for\|/Covers\|a cover gallery for The Well of Ascension}} == Interior Art == {{for\|/Interior art\|a gallery of the book's interior art}} == Statistical Analysis == {{for\|/Statistical analysis\|a full statistical analysis}} ''The Well of Ascension'' consists of fifty-nine chapters, and one epilogue, reaching a total 244,371 word count.
