Mistborn: Secret History
by Brandon SandersonMistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy. As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning. Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best. In short, this isn't the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy - but it has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books). Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story's existence is, in a way, a spoiler. There's always another secret.

Sometimes Boots is a man. Sometimes he’s (really, truly) a horse. He and Bobby both know something about magic-and those who read this book will, too. "A wonderful story about a man who is a horse, and a boy who is a girl-about fake magic and real love-about deaths that are part of living and the pain that pays for joy. I love it. ”-Ursula K. Le Guin .

La maggior parte dei miei colleghi guadagna belle somme braccando le celebrità di Hollywood. La gente ama leggere riviste di gossip, e questa è l'amara verità. Mi chiamo Kalei Aneko. Mio padre è un cuoco Hawaiano forte e orgoglioso, e mia madre è un'attraente ufficiale di polizia di San Francisco, California. Mi sono giunte diverse voci circa un insabbiamento da parte dei militari in Antartide, e io intendo scoprire la verità, costi quel che costi! Durante l'estate in Antartide ci sono circa 5000 scienziati, mentre in inverno il numero scende intorno alle 1000 unità. Pare che i militari stiano supportando massicciamente gli scienziati nella loro ricerca... di qualunque cosa si tratti. Il fatto che il personale scientifico venga più che dimezzato in inverno ha suscitato ancora di più la mia curiosità.

Mistification
by Kaaron WarrenThey entered the cellar and he locked the door behind them. He drew the mist to give the girl a sense of euphoria and anticipation. “There is magic here; tricks,” the girl said. “I know because I blink and things change. I feel like I can see germs in the air. It's damp. What if I catch something?” He said, “You can't catch magic. You can learn parts of it, you are born with some. Magic is not contagious, though its element is contagion. Some things can influence you long after you have stopped touching them. Some things will never stop touching you, even when they are long forgotten.” His voice was so quiet it gave her comfort.
