8) Mistborn
What is it?:
“Mistborn,” is a trilogy where a young woman lives under the tyranny of a powerful Lord Ruler and is held captive by her slavers until she is freed by a mysterious man possessing mystical powers. Together, the young woman and the man harness the power of the mistborn to defeat the Lord Ruler and end an ancient tyranny.
Why Should it be Adapted?:
Although it’s a lot more tame than Game of Thrones, “Mistborn”nevertheless is a book made for adults. Its gritty atmosphere, depressing dystopian tone set just within its first pages, “Mistborn” could very well represent a more vibrant and visually ambitious venture for HBO. With Game of Thrones embracing its high fantasy more and more, “Mistborn” definitely rises as a contender for a long running series.
