El metal perdido

Law enforcement turned senator from the big city Waxillium Ladrian has been trying to hunt down the shadowy organization called the Group - whose leaders include his late uncle and sister - for years, ever since they began kidnapping people for the power of allomancy in his lineage. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find an illegal weapons warehouse bound for the outer city of Bilming, a new lead opens up before them. The conflict between Elendel and the outer cities favors the Group, which already extends its tentacles to the Elendel Senate - whose corruption Wax and Steris intend to uncover - and the city of Bilming is even more involved than they thought. After Wax discovers a new type of explosive capable of unleashing unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Group must already have it, an immortal kandra in the service of Scadrial's god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another. god: Trell, revered by the Group. But Trell isn't the only factor coming from the vast Cosmere, as Marasi is recruited by off-planets with strange abilities, who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial... at all costs. Wax must decide if he will put aside the difficulties of his relationship with God and become again the sword that Harmony has been preparing him to be. If no one steps up and acts like the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will meet sudden and calamitous ruin.
