Mistborn: Shadows of Self is the second book in the high fantasy Wax and Wayne series of novels written by American author Brandon Sanderson. It is the sequel to The Alloy of Law and the setting of the novel is approximately 300 years after the conclusion of the original Mistborn series.
The work that eventually turned into the Wax and Wayne trilogy began with a creative writing exercise, not necessarily intended for publication, to help clear Sanderson's head before continuing work on A Memory of Light from The Wheel of Time and the next book in The Stormlight Archive. This work, Mistborn: The Alloy of Law, was published in 2011. On October 29, 2013, Sanderson and Tor Books announced that there would be two more Mistborn novels in the Wax and Wayne timeframe of the Mistborn universe, starting with the publication of Shadows of Self.
Brandon Sanderson read an excerpt from Chapter 2 of the then-unpublished book at the Salt Lake City Comic Con. A recording of that reading has been posted on YouTube.
