Borne of Mist (Mistborn Chronicles Book 1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A rapacious mage rips the veil between realities to pursue an escaped captive. Into a world innocent of magic and meager sciences, mysterious powers and creatures surge through the rift. This triggers events leading to earth-shattering changes to this world and others.Ensnared are naive inhabitants and their natural world. Dead voids replace entire sectors of terrain and sea. Blood winds strip living flesh while bizarre plants and animals prey upon the unwary. Sea vipers ravage coastlines exposed by ice melt. Seasons no longer follow historical patterns. What happens to natives proves most troubling of all: they exhibit fearsome changes in their abilities. Nearly thirty cycles ago fresh water in the Ciren Desert ran red. The Living Mist deposited a child on its luminous sands. Once again those precious waters stink of blood and desert-dwelling Kli!Canth discover another stranger—a woman near death. Responding to cryptic messages within ancient Eddas, they bring Elishandra sere Dancheʹ to meet the Living Mist’s other survivor.Zenadon MelʹChaime remembers nothing before Kli!Canth nomads rescued him. As Master Merchant and son-adopt to a great merchant family, Zen prefers to focus on trade and profit. If only these nightmares plaguing him would stop... Then he meets the peculiar Elishandra, who hides more than she reveals. Yet Lisha’s boundless fear warns Zen about what he and his world face. Perhaps her prescient awareness holds the answers he needs.These two Mistborn must learn to trust each other, developing tactics and strategies even as their evolving talents become paramount. Meanwhile a mage war escalates, promising to quench the spark of this world—and others.
