== Plot Summary ==

At the end of the previous book, Vin released the power in the [[Well of Ascension]] in order to achieve what she believed was protecting the world, at the expense of losing [[Elend Venture]], her husband. It is revealed that Vin was tricked into releasing the power at the Well, rather than using it, and unleashed [[Ruin]] who had been imprisoned there. Before Vin killed the [[Lord Ruler]] he warned her she was dooming the world and Vin now realises the [[Terris prophecies]] were falsified. An apparition helped her locate a bead of [[Lerasium]] - the condensed form of [[Preservation]] - in the Well's chamber, turning Elend into a Mistborn when he ate it and subsequently, with the ability to burn pewter, saved his life.
