The Well of Ascension: Book Two of Mistborn

The thousand-year reign of the Lord Ruler has ended, but the struggle for a new society has just begun. Vin, the former street urchin now a powerful Mistborn, and Elend Venture, the idealistic nobleman, face the daunting task of building a stable world from the ashes of an empire.

As unrest simmers and old tensions resurface, an ancient legend offers a fragile hope. The path to the legendary Well of Ascension, and the power it may bestow, remains unknown. The challenge of surviving the aftermath of the Lord Ruler's fall proves far greater than his defeat.
