About this audiobook

"Michael Kramer is my favorite among all audiobook narrators. I was thrilled to have him on the Mistborn series, and he did such an amazing job I can’t imagine having anyone else be the voice of these characters." —Brandon Sanderson

Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal.


For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set—with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders—since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between Elendel and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate—whose corruption Wax and Steris have sought to expose—and Bilming is even more entangled.

After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial’s god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn’t the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere—Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost.

Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.

I prefer second era (books 4-7) to first era, they're a part of my listening rotation. I don't like the way people neg this era, and I had hoped with this ending, they would come around, because now that I've been to the end, I feel it ended just the right way. I feel like sanderson steered me subtly to exactly the right conclusion about wayne in the previous books. as to people's complaints about the inclusions of other worlds. the references were less nuanced compared to how it's handled in stormlight, so it can feel like an onslaught (even though i knew most of the references), but the tempo of this book is different, so it makes sense the delivery would be too, I feel a little like the characters are supposed to, with my head spinning a bit. maybe sanderson could have handled it differently, but overall, I enjoyed it. i love the way the themes in this series plays out, and I love that I can break up the heavier cosmere books with the MB era 2 series.
