Título: Shadows of Self
Autor: Brandon Sanderson
Sinopse: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action. Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now 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. When family obligations forced Waxillium Ladrian to forsake the frontier lands and return to the metropolis of his birth to take his place as head of a noble House, he little imagined that the crime-fighting skills acquired during twenty years in the dusty plains would be just as applicable in the big city. He soon learned that there too, just being a talented Twinborn — one who can use both Allomancy and Feruchemy, the dominant magical modes on Scadrial — would not suffice. This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society will now face its first test by terrorism and assassination, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax, his eccentric sidekick Wayne, and brilliant, beautiful young Marasi, now officially part of the constabulary, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife can stop Scadrial’s progress in its tracks.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Tor Books costumam explorar universos complexos onde a ciência avançada e o fantástico se entrelaçam, criando narrativas que vão do espaço sideral a mundos medievais reinventados. As histórias frequentemente apresentam conflitos humanos intensos, seja em guerras intergalácticas, intrigas políticas ou batalhas pessoais, com personagens que enfrentam dilemas éticos e decisões que impactam o destino de civilizações. O ritmo varia entre épicos de ação e relatos mais introspectivos, com vozes narrativas que podem ser jovens protagonistas em meio a grandes eventos ou figuras imersas em mistérios sobrenaturais. O catálogo sugere um equilíbrio entre tramas mais narrativas, focadas em personagens e emoções, e outras que aprofundam em conceitos científicos e especulativos.
