The Hero of Ages (Mistborn, Book 3)
内容简介
Who is the Hero of Ages? To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness---the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists---is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed. Having escaped death at the climax of "The Well of Ascension" only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave readers rubbing their eyes in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

伊兰德笑了笑。“哦，好吧。你必须承认，你和别人有点不一样，纹。你既像是一个贵族家的千金小姐，又像是街头的淘气鬼，还像一只猫。而且，我们才相处了短短的三年时间，你就把我的偶像、我父亲、我哥哥，还有我的未婚妻统统杀光了。这有点像杀人帽子戏法。我们的感情基础竟然这么奇怪，你不觉得吗？”
恭敬不如从命，纹坐了下来。“你还没回答我的问题，萨奇德，”她说，“你为什么一直穿着那身侍从官长袍？为什么刮胡子刮得这么勤快，是要看起来像特里斯仆人吗？我来了你可以继续刮你的胡子，不用担心我会觉得不敬，你再也不是什么仆人了。”
