Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of the Mistborn Trilogy and co-author of the final three books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series comes the tale of a heretic thief who may be an Empire's only hope for survival.
Shai is a Forger: a foreigner who can flawlessly re-create any item by rewriting its history using skillful magic . . . although she's currently condemned to death after trying to steal the emperor's sceptre, she has one last opportunity to save herself. The emperor has barely survived an assassination attempt, he needs a new soul and, despite viewing her skill as a Forger an abomination, her captors have turned to Shai for help.
Skillfully deducing her captors plans, Shai know the first thing she needs is a perfect escape plan. but in the meantime, her fate and that of the empire lies in completing an impossible task: is it possible to create a forgery so convincing that it's better than the soul itself?

Amazing
It was nothing short of amazing how much depth Brandon manage to get into the world captured in this book in one of the shortest books I have read in the last decade.
Another great read
As usual, an ingenious magic system and a story full of entertaining characters and exciting plot twists. A throughly enjoyable read!
Really hope there's more to come, this one was cruelly short.
