The Alloy of Law is the fourth book in the {{Mistborn}} series, a stand alone story set roughly 300 years after the events of the first trilogy. It features Waxilliam Ladiran, a lawman from out in the [[WildWest Roughs]] coming to the city to try and settle down. His attempts at the quiet life are quickly foiled, however, by the return of his old friend Wayne and his own internal desire to do the right thing.
