Bekannt wurde Brandon Sanderson, als er den Fantasy-Zyklus "Das Rad der Zeit" beendete, nachdem dessen Schöpfer Robert Jordan verstorben war. Inzwischen ist der US-Amerikaner mit seiner eigenen High-Fantasy-Serie "Mistborn" (dt. "Nebelgeboren") zu einem der meistgelesenen Fantasy-Autoren der Welt aufgestiegen. Er schuf ein gewaltiges Erzähluniversum, in dem Magie und Technik eine faszinierende Koexistenz eingehen. Auf einer seiner Welten hat der begeisterte Comic-Fan auch den Dreiteiler "Weißer Sand" angesiedelt: Auf dem Taldain nutzen die legendären Sandmeister arkane Kräfte, um Sand auf spektakuläre Weise zu manipulieren. Durch Verrat fallen die Meister aber einem gnadenlosen Feind zum Opfer - nur Kenton überlebt das Massaker. Um Rache zu üben und das Böse zu bekämpfen, geht er einen gewagten Pakt einer mysteriösen Darksiderin ein. Großartige Fantasy in tollen Bildern, aus der Welt von Brandon Sanderson.

Das Finale dieses eigenständigen Abenteuers aus den Weiten des Kosmeers!

Aber gegen die Attentäter, die versuchen seine Mission zu verhindern und ihn zu töten, wäre ein wenig "Feuerkraft" schon ganz gut ...
