Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Book Description
For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear and the Lord Ruler, the “Sliver of Infinity,” reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heartbroken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler’s most hellish prison. Kelsier found himself with the powers of a Mistborn. He is a brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
