It’s a companion story to the first three Mistborn books, and shouldn’t be read until you’ve finished those. Mistborn: Secret History is a digital novella set in the Mistborn world. (Unfortunately, news of it started leaking out a few weeks ago.) I don’t want to say much here, as it’s supposed to be something of a surprise.
The Bands of Mourning also marks the release of something I’ve been hiding from everyone, something I’ve been very tight-lipped about. After that, Tor has posted chapters 1–6 on their website. So I hope you’ll be willing to check it out! If you want a teaser, your newsletter exclusive fiction is the prologue, posted below. It is both my agent’s and editor’s favorite book in the series. It also changes (well, expands) the Mistborn world in a huge way. It mixes the more classic Mistborn themes of epic storytelling with the newer Wax and Wayne themes of investigation and adventure. The Bands of Mourning, on the other hand, is just plain fun. Shadows of Self has emotion and thick characterization, born out of my own struggles to find the book’s voice.
Both books have a certain air lent to them by the process. Though I had all kinds of trouble writing the previous book ( Shadows of Self,) this one was a blast from start to finish. This is one of those books that just zipped out of me.
