NOTE: This novella is included within Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection, now available in print, ebook, and audiobook from Tor (US/Canada) and Gollancz (UK/Commonwealth). Mistborn: 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.

Haven was colonized by humans who fled from Earth centuries earlier to avoid a conflict. They built an advanced, thriving civilization on Haven and began construction of modern cities around the planet. Life was good and a far departure from the former lives they lived on Earth. However, ninety years after the planet was colonized, an extremely aggressive civilization known as the Vrang attacked the planet destroying all the cities and carrying off ninety percent of the population enslaving them. All that remained of the once beautiful cities were blackened ruins towering above what was once an advanced civilization.
The survivors of the attack decided to stay out of the former cities; that would be the first place the Vrang would search if they ever returned. For the next two hundred years, humanity has lived a primitive farming existence. That’s how things remained until one night a large group of aliens were discovered sitting in their fields. No one knew where the aliens had come from or who brought them to Haven, and the aliens weren’t telling anyone; they ignored each other as well as the humans living on the planet. It wasn’t until one young human and one of the aliens became entangled after an accident that everything changed. The human communities living on Haven know the universe is not a nice place; they stare at the stars at night and fear what could come out of them. They discover the appearance of the aliens on Haven has placed all of them in danger and that danger could be coming soon.
But the Alien and Epic Story are now communicating with each other and the communities are being warned of what’s coming. Haven is a primitive planet and has no means of defending itself from an advanced civilization and the only option appears to be hiding in the forests and pray enough humans survive to rebuild the planet.
This is a story by Saxon Andrew of innocence lost and the struggle to survive in a universe fraught with dangerous civilizations that prey on inhabited planets. Epic learns that those that appear to be friends, aren’t and the only one he can trust is a tall alien who just wants to die.
Excerpt: The Alien and Epic Story
Epic took a breath and said, “It took me some time to determine you want to die. And after that other alien showed up and ordered you to leave that rock and stop causing us issues, it finally dawned on me that you are also forbidden to communicate with the others like you that are here. So why did one of you come and communicate with you? Someone had to break that protocol to send that messenger to order you to move. That means you and all the others of your species here are being watched by an outside agency.” Epic paused and saw Rocky’s body start to relax. Epic waited a moment and then said, “Have you thought about what might have happened if you had refused to follow the order you were given to leave?”
Rocky actually turned around and stared at Epic and it was clear he was surprised by the question. “What’s the worse thing they could have done if you did that?” Rocky continued to stare at Epic, as he added, “Is there a possibility whoever is watching you might kill you for refusing to do as you’re told?” Rocky blinked at the question. “I mean think about it, Rocky. If you really want to die, communicating with me would be a good way to make it happen.”
In a dangerous universe, The Alien and Epic Story shows how two beings so radically different from each other can come together and become much more than they are alone.
