En WARBREAKER, el sistema de magia nica se basa en el "aliento" (breath), que los de Idrian tambi n llaman el "alma". Cada ser humano nace con un "aliento". Uno se puede desprender de su "aliento" y a n as seguir viviendo, aunque parecer a los dem s como un poco m s gris (menos vivo y menos capaz de percibir las cosas que suceden a su alrededor). En este caso, se les llama "Drabs". En Idrian se tiene l stima por esos "drabs" y se considera monstruoso aceptar el aliento de otros. En Hallandren el "aliento" se considera incluso como una mercanc a con la que comerciar ya que disponen de ella incluso los humanos m s pobres. Una persona que tiene cincuenta o m s "alientos" puede hacer magia con ese poder, incluyendo Despertares (Awakenings) que consiste en dar vida con forma humana a materia org nica y ese nuevo ser "despertado" hace lo que el "despertador" quiere que haga. Para ello, se deben conocer las palabras correctas y decirlas con claridad. El "despertador" puede tomar (recuperar) el "aliento" de la cosa creada, s lo cuando sta ha cumplido su misi n.

Brandon Sanderson, the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Words of Radiance," coauthor of Robert Jordan s Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn Trilogy, presents the second book in the Reckoners series: "Firefight," the sequel to the #1 bestseller "Steelheart." Newcago is free. They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart invincible, immortal, unconquerable is dead. And he died by David's hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers. Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is sure it's the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic Firefight. And now he will go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers. "

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.
