Mistborn: The Final Empire

Mistborn: The Final Empire is the first book in Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy, a fantasy novel about a heist to overthrow an immortal, god-like tyrant who has ruled for a thousand years. Set in a dystopian world of ash and mist, it follows a crew of thieves led by the charismatic Kelsier, who recruits a young street urchin named Vin, a powerful but untrained "Mistborn" with unique magical abilities. The story blends high-stakes thievery, political intrigue, and a unique magic system called Allomancy, where people burn metals for powers.
