El pozo de la ascension / The Well of Ascension

Brandon Sanderson

Del autor mas vendido del New York Times, Brandon Sanderson, la serie Mistborn es una historia de atracos de intriga politica y accion magica de artes marciales.

Se ha logrado lo imposible. El Gobernante Supremo, el hombre que afirmo ser un dios encarnado y goberno brutalmente el mundo durante mil anos, ha sido vencido. Pero Kelsier, el heroe que planeo ese triunfo, tambien esta muerto, y ahora la asombrosa tarea de construir un nuevo mundo ha quedado en manos de su joven protegida, Vin, la ex golfilla callejera que ahora es la Mistborn mas poderosa de la tierra, y al joven noble idealista que ama.

Como protegida de Kelsier y asesina del Gobernante Supremo, ahora es venerada por una nueva religion en ciernes, una distincion que la incomoda intensamente. Aun mas preocupante, las nieblas han comenzado a comportarse de manera extrana desde que murio el Gobernante Supremo, y parecen albergar una extrana entidad vaporosa que la persigue.

Detener a los asesinos puede mantener afiladas las habilidades de Vin Mistborn, pero es el menor de sus problemas. Luthadel, la ciudad mas grande del antiguo imperio, no se administra sola, y Vin y los otros miembros de la tripulacion de Kelsier, que lideran la revolucion, deben aprender una coleccion completamente nueva de habilidades practicas y politicas para ayudar. Ciertamente, no sera mas facil con tres ejercitos, uno de ellos compuesto por gigantes feroces, ahora compitiendo por conquistar la ciudad, y sin rastro del alijo de atium oculto del Gobernante Supremo, el metal alomantico mas raro y poderoso.

A medida que se intensifica el asedio de Luthadel, una antigua leyenda parece ofrecer un rayo de esperanza. Pero incluso si realmente existe, nadie sabe donde encontrar el Pozo de la Ascension o que tipo de poder otorga.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action.

The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler – the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years – has been vanquished. But Kelsier, the hero who masterminded that triumph, is dead too, and now the awesome task of building a new world has been left to his young protege, Vin, the former street urchin who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and to the idealistic young nobleman she loves.

As Kelsier’s protege and slayer of the Lord Ruler she is now venerated by a budding new religion, a distinction that makes her intensely uncomfortable. Even more worrying, the mists have begun behaving strangely since the Lord Ruler died, and seem to harbor a strange vaporous entity that haunts her.

Stopping assassins may keep Vin’s Mistborn skills sharp, but it’s the least of her problems. Luthadel, the largest city of the former empire, doesn’t run itself, and Vin and the other members of Kelsier’s crew, who lead the revolution, must learn a whole new set of practical and political skills to help. It certainly won’t get easier with three armies - one of them composed of ferocious giants - now vying to conquer the city, and no sign of the Lord Ruler’s hidden cache of atium, the rarest and most powerful allomantic metal.

As the siege of Luthadel tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.
