This happens some 300 hundred years after the Mistborn trilogy - mix together the universe of Mistborn and the one of Back to the Future III, and you get the one of Alloy of Law. You get your city, Elendel, and far-west, sorry, the Roughs, outside. Waxillium "Wax" Landrian was born of a good family of Elendel, went to be a sheriff in the Roughs for some time, but is now back to settle down and get married. Obviously, it's not that simple: goods convoys get stolen, his fiancee gets kidnapped, and Wax end up, with his sidekick Wayne and his fiancee's cousin Marasi, in the middle of all this. It's funny, the characters are very cool, and I'm wondering a posteriori why I didn't put 5 stars on this. A sequel seems in the works for later this year, sounds like a good idea.
