Feral Obsession Fall for the Hockey Alpha Captain

Zuleika… Lanvini Alpha-born, dangerously unhinged, and hotter than sin. With eyes that flash gold when his wolf rises and tattoos that feel more like symbols than ink, he’s the kind of male my parents warned me about. The kind bred to conquer. Heir to the Darkfire Pack. Sworn enemy to mine. And the most powerful wolf on campus. I’m Mistborn—descended from the sacred bloodline of Silvermist. My wolf was supposed to awaken under the moon’s blessing, not from a stolen touch in the dark. But the moment Lanvin brushed against me, something ancient stirred in my bones. My wolf chose him. He’s my natural-born enemy. So why does every part of me want to kneel? Lanvin… She doesn’t know what she is. Doesn’t know the power coiled beneath her skin—or the chaos it could bring. Zuleika is Mistborn. The inner-blood of the Silvermist Pack. Sacred. Protected. Forbidden. She’s also my best friend’s sister. And my fated mate. I felt it the second our wolves brushed souls. A connection no Alpha could sever. Not even my father. But a bond between Silvermist and Darkfire? It’s treason. The kind that starts wars. Still, I’d risk exile. I’d burn my title, my pack, the very laws that raised me—because my wolf won’t let her go. And if fate dares stand between us, I’ll tear the moon from the sky to make her mine.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Empty vessels make the most noise, and men who fit that description to a tee hardly make for suitable partners.

"I hereby pledge myself to you," the older man vowed. If a single kiss from her was all it took for him to devote himself to her, would a second kiss entail much more? There was only one way for Corinne to find out…

Who Are The Ghostbloods In Mistborn And What Are Their Goals?

4 Answers2025-07-05 02:39:42

The Ghostbloods are one of the most intriguing secret societies in Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' series, especially in the later books like 'The Stormlight Archive.' They operate in shadows, with members spanning multiple worlds in the Cosmere, which makes their goals even more mysterious. From what I've pieced together, they seem to be collecting knowledge and power, possibly to influence or control the shards of Adonalsium. Their leader, Thaidakar, is heavily implied to be Kelsier from 'Mistborn,' which adds a whole layer of complexity. The Ghostbloods are ruthless, willing to manipulate and eliminate anyone in their way, but their endgame isn't entirely clear. Are they trying to prevent a greater catastrophe, or are they power-hungry? The ambiguity is part of what makes them so fascinating.

Their presence in 'The Stormlight Archive' is particularly noteworthy. They’ve infiltrated high-ranking positions in Alethi society, suggesting they’re playing a long game. Some members, like Shallan’s brother, seem to be victims of their schemes, while others, like Mraize, are clearly in control. The Ghostbloods’ interest in spren, investiture, and worldhopping technology hints at a larger Cosmere-wide agenda. Whether they’re allies or antagonists might depend on whose perspective you’re reading from, but one thing’s for sure: they’re not to be trusted lightly.

Are The Ghostbloods Villains Or Antiheroes In Mistborn?

4 Answers2025-07-05 16:45:49

The Ghostbloods in 'Mistborn' are such a fascinating group because they blur the lines between villainy and antiheroism so masterfully. On one hand, their methods are ruthless—assassinations, manipulation, and secrecy are their trademarks. Yet, their goals often align with preserving Scadrial, even if their means are morally questionable. Kelsier’s involvement adds another layer; his charisma and revolutionary ideals make them feel like rebels fighting a corrupt system rather than outright villains.

Their ambiguity is what makes them compelling. They aren’t cartoonishly evil but operate in shades of gray. For instance, their opposition to the Set and other threats shows they aren’t just self-serving. Yet, their willingness to sacrifice innocents for 'the greater good' echoes classic antihero tropes. Brandon Sanderson’s writing ensures they defy easy categorization, leaving readers debating their true nature long after finishing the books.

Where Can I Read About The Ghostbloods In Mistborn For Free?

4 Answers2025-07-05 16:44:46

As someone who's deeply immersed in the 'Mistborn' universe, I can tell you that finding detailed info about the Ghostbloods for free isn't straightforward, but there are ways. The best place to start is Brandon Sanderson's official website, where he often shares free excerpts and annotations for his books. The 'Mistborn' trilogy—especially 'The Well of Ascension' and 'The Hero of Ages'—has chapters where the Ghostbloods play a crucial role.

Another great resource is the Coppermind wiki, which is a fan-run encyclopedia for all things Cosmere. It's packed with well-sourced details about the Ghostbloods, their motives, and their connections to other factions. If you're okay with audiobooks, some platforms like Spotify or YouTube occasionally have free readings of key chapters. Just avoid sketchy sites offering pirated copies—supporting the author ensures we get more amazing lore!

How Does Kelsier Relate To The Ghostbloods In Mistborn?

4 Answers2025-07-05 12:29:27

As a longtime fan of Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' series, I’ve always been fascinated by Kelsier’s complex legacy and how it intertwines with the Ghostbloods. Kelsier, the charismatic leader of the Skaa rebellion, is more than just a revolutionary—he’s a symbol of defiance. After his apparent death in 'The Final Empire,' his influence doesn’t fade. The Ghostbloods, a secretive organization introduced in 'The Stormlight Archive,' are revealed to have ties to him. They embody his ideals of challenging oppressive systems, though their methods are far more shadowy.

What’s intriguing is how Kelsier’s survival (thanks to Preservation’s power) reshapes his role. He becomes Thaidakar, the leader of the Ghostbloods, operating across the Cosmere. This connection shows his evolution from a local hero to a cosmic player. The Ghostbloods’ goals—like uncovering secrets and destabilizing powerful entities—mirror Kelsier’s own relentless drive. Yet, their morality is ambiguous, reflecting his darker pragmatism. For fans, this link deepens the lore, showing how one man’s rebellion can ripple across worlds.

What Are The Ghostbloods’ Connections To Other Mistborn Factions?

4 Answers2025-07-05 23:54:18

As a longtime fan of Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' series, the Ghostbloods fascinate me because they operate like a shadowy chessboard, pulling strings across multiple factions. They have deep, ambiguous ties to the Set, another secretive group, though their goals often clash—the Set wants power through chaos, while the Ghostbloods seem more methodical, almost scholarly in their pursuit of knowledge. Their connection to Kelsier's Survivorists is particularly intriguing; some speculate Kelsier might even be their founder, given their shared interest in preserving Scadrial's secrets.

Then there's the Elendel government, which views them as a thorn in their side, but even they can't deny the Ghostbloods' influence spans beyond politics. They've infiltrated the Southern Scadrians too, leveraging their technology for unknown ends. What makes them stand out is how they bridge eras—spanning from the Final Empire's downfall to the modern era—making them a linchpin in the cosmere's broader mysteries.

Which Mistborn Books Feature The Ghostbloods Prominently?

4 Answers2025-07-05 21:04:06

As someone who dives deep into the Cosmere lore, the Ghostbloods are one of the most intriguing factions, especially in the Mistborn series. They first appear prominently in 'The Bands of Mourning' and become even more central in 'The Lost Metal'. These books are part of the Wax and Wayne era, where the Ghostbloods' mysterious agenda starts to unravel. Their connections to other worlds in the Cosmere add layers of complexity, making them a fascinating element for readers who love hidden plots and cross-world theories.

In 'The Lost Metal', their presence is undeniable, with their schemes intertwining with the main characters' fates. Their leader, Kelsier's involvement, though not immediately obvious, is a huge revelation for long-time fans. The Ghostbloods' shadowy operations and their ties to the broader Cosmere universe make these books a must-read for anyone invested in Sanderson's interconnected worlds.

How Do The Ghostbloods Influence Vin’S Journey In Mistborn?

4 Answers2025-07-05 09:34:13

The Ghostbloods play a crucial but shadowy role in Vin's journey in 'Mistborn,' acting as both a catalyst for her growth and a source of moral ambiguity. Initially, they appear as a mysterious organization with deep knowledge of Allomancy and the broader cosmere, which intrigues Vin and pushes her to explore her powers beyond what Kelsier taught her. Their influence forces her to question loyalty and trust, especially when their goals seem to align—or clash—with her own.

As Vin delves deeper into their secrets, the Ghostbloods expose her to truths about the Lord Ruler and the world’s deeper mechanics, shaping her understanding of her role as a Mistborn. Their manipulation and secrecy, however, also instill a sense of caution in her, making her wary of hidden agendas. This duality—offering knowledge while withholding motives—mirrors Vin’s internal struggle between independence and reliance on others. By the end, their influence subtly steers her toward broader cosmere awareness, setting the stage for her legacy.

What Role Do The Ghostbloods Play In Mistborn’S Cosmere?

4 Answers2025-07-05 09:00:31

As someone deeply immersed in the Cosmere, the Ghostbloods are one of the most intriguing factions in Brandon Sanderson's universe. They operate across multiple worlds, including Roshar in 'The Stormlight Archive' and Scadrial in 'Mistborn,' suggesting their influence spans far beyond a single planet. Their motives are shrouded in mystery, but they seem to be collecting Investiture and knowledge, possibly to achieve some grand, unseen goal.

In 'Mistborn: Secret History,' we catch glimpses of their activities, hinting at their involvement with worldhoppers and their interest in the broader Cosmere mechanics. They’re not just local players; they’re part of a larger, interconnected scheme. Their leader, Thaidakar, is heavily implied to be someone significant from another series, which adds another layer of intrigue. The Ghostbloods feel like the shadowy puppeteers of the Cosmere, pulling strings behind the scenes, and I can’t wait to see how their role unfolds in future books.

Do The Ghostbloods Appear In Mistborn’S Sequel Series?

4 Answers2025-07-05 10:17:07

As someone who’s dived deep into Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe, I can confidently say the Ghostbloods do make appearances beyond the original 'Mistborn' trilogy. They play a significant role in 'The Stormlight Archive,' particularly through characters like Mraize and Iyatil, who are confirmed members. Their presence hints at a broader, interconnected agenda across the Cosmere.

In 'Mistborn: Secret History,' there are subtle nods to their influence, especially with Kelsier’s post-'Hero of Ages' activities. While they aren’t as prominently featured in 'Wax and Wayne' as in 'Stormlight,' their shadowy operations suggest they’re active behind the scenes. Sanderson’s worldbuilding often plants seeds for future crossovers, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they become more overt in later 'Mistborn' books. Their multiversal ambitions make them one of the most intriguing factions in the Cosmere.

When Does Rashek Mistborn Appear In The Mistborn Timeline?

4 Answers2025-09-03 15:25:40

I got sucked into this question when I was rereading the trilogy last month, and honestly Rashek’s timeline is one of those deliciously messy bits of Mistborn lore that rewards digging. Rashek is the mortal name of the man who becomes the Lord Ruler — he’s the key figure at the creation of the Final Empire. Chronologically, his big moment is at the end of the catastrophe that reshaped the world (the cataclysmic events involving Preservation and Ruin), and he takes on the power that lets him remake society. That ascension happens roughly a thousand years before Vin’s story in 'Mistborn: The Final Empire'.

After he becomes the Lord Ruler he doesn’t vanish into myth right away — he literally rules for about a millennium, so he’s present through the entire era people call the Final Empire. In terms of when you see him in the books: he’s alive during the original trilogy’s present-day timeline (he’s the reigning Lord Ruler in the opening book), and we also get more historical context and deeper glimpses at his earlier actions in 'Mistborn: Secret History' and scattered in-world histories. By the time of the later, cowboy-flavored books like 'Alloy of Law', Rashek is mostly a legend, a figure of history rather than an active presence. It’s a gorgeous stretch of timeline — from foundational ascension to living ruler to myth — and it colors so much of how the world feels.
