"Shadows of Self" is a fantasy novel by Brandon Sanderson, which is part of the "Mistborn" series. Set in a world where magic, known as Allomancy, plays a crucial role, the story follows the aftermath of the events that took place in the previous books. The society is grappling with the consequences of the changes brought about by powerful forces, and tensions are high as new political dynamics emerge. The protagonist, Waxillium Ladrian, is a lawman who navigates challenges both from criminals and his own troubled past.
The narrative delves deep into themes of identity and power, as Wax must confront not only external threats but also the shadows of his own history. As he investigates a series of murders that seem to be connected to a larger conspiracy, Wax faces moral dilemmas that question the nature of justice and the cost of maintaining order in a rapidly evolving society. His relationships with other characters, particularly his ally Wayne and his love interest, play a significant role in shaping his journey.
