The Alloy of Law is the first book in the Mistborn Adventures series. It is a loose sequel set three hundred years after the events of the original series. A short synopsis (mild spoilers for the Mistborn trilogy): Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.
