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.

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.
