Hardly anyone thinks they truly exist, but now a kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depictthe Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Plus another image that shocks Waxillium Ladrian: a photo of his sister, Telsin, being held captive by his uncle, a leader of the shadowy organization known as the Set.Wax travels south to the city of New Seran to investigate, along with his partner, Wayne, the brilliant Marasi, and the ethically flexible kandra MeLaan.

His people and the Set are also hunting the Bands—can they be located before they fall into the wrong hands?“A fast-paced novel that’s part Wild West, part Indiana Jones, and wholly entertaining,combining high emotional stakes with a deep, good-natured sense of humor.” —Kirkus ReviewsOther Tor books by Brandon Sanderson The Cosmere The Stormlight Archive The Way of Kings Words of Radiance Edgedancer (Novella) Oathbringer Dawnshard (Novella) Rhythm of War The Mistborn trilogy Mistborn: The Final Empire The Well of Ascension The Hero of Ages Mistborn: The Wax and Wayne series Alloy of Law Shadows of Self Bands of Mourning The Lost Metal Collection Arcanum Unbounded Other Cosmere novels Elantris WarbreakerTress of the Emerald SeaYumi and the Nightmare PainterThe Sunlit Man The Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians The Scrivener's Bones The Knights of Crystallia The Shattered Lens The Dark TalentBastille vs. the Evil Librarians (co-authored with Janci Patterson) The Rithmatist series The RithmatistOther novelsLegion: The Many Lives of Stephen LeedsThe Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England Other books by Brandon Sanderson The Reckoners Steelheart Firefight Calamity
