Книга: The Alloy of Law (Sanderson Brandon); Orion Publishing Group, 2011

In Scadrial, ever taller towers race for the clouds, and railways and canals criss-cross the land. But this is still a place of magic.

Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed and Spook have become legend - or religion - but even as science reaches new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy have a role in this reborn world. In the Roughs, the wilds beyond the cities, magic is a crucial tool for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice. One such is Waxillium Ladrian.

And family tragedy is about to force Wax to return to the metropolis of Elendel. He must assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the open plains.
