Series: The Reckoners
The #1 New York Times bestseller from Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Oathbringer, coauthor of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn trilogy. And don’t miss the rest of the Reckoners series: Firefight and Calamity!    Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave

ordinary people extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling

them Epics.    Epics are no friends of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man, you must crush his will.    Now, in what was once Chicago, an astonishingly powerful Epic named

Steelheart has installed himself as emperor. Steelheart possesses the

strength of ten men and can control the elements. It is said that no

bullet can harm him, no sword can split his skin, and no fire can burn

him. He is invincible. Nobody fights back . . . nobody but the

Reckoners.    A shadowy group of ordinary humans, the Reckoners

spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then

assassinating them. And David wants in.    When Steelheart came to

Chicago, he killed David’s father. For years, like the Reckoners, David

has been studying, and planning, and he has something they need. Not an

object, but an experience.    He has seen Steelheart bleed.    And he wants revenge.
