For a thousand years, the Lord Ruler has held absolute power, and the Skaa people live in constant fear and misery. The ash falls like a curse, bringing no life or beauty to the barren landscape. But amidst this darkness, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of Kelsier, a daring half-Skaa thief with untapped potential.
