A new quest in a city under Epic rule

After David’s victory over Steelheart, the questions left unanswered in Newcago send him to Babylon Restored, a flooded former Manhattan ruled by the High Epic Regalia. The sequel shifts the stakes from the defeat of one seemingly invincible enemy to David’s search for answers—and for Firefight, another Epic who has become important to him. Its central tension joins an oppressive city setting with David’s changing motive: the hole left by vengeance now points him toward a more personal and dangerous pursuit.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who have started the Reckoners series and want to continue David’s story.
  • Teen and young adult readers interested in speculative conflicts involving powerful Epics and resistance to their rule.
  • Readers drawn to stories where a protagonist’s goals change after a major victory.

Book overview

The #1 New York Times bestseller and sequel to Steelheart from Brandon Sanderson, the author of Oathbringer, coauthor of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn trilogy, presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight. And don't miss Calamity, the exciting conclusion to the Reckoners series!
Newcago is free.
They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart--invincible, immortal, unconquerable--is dead. And he died by David's hand.
Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.
Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is sure it's the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic--Firefight. And now he will go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

Praise for the Reckoners Series:

#1 New York Times Bestselling Series

"Another win for Sanderson . . . he's simply a brilliant writer. Period." --Patrick Rothfuss, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The Name of the Wind

"Action-packed." --EW.com

"Compelling. . . . Sanderson uses plot twists that he teases enough for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic reveals he has in store." --The A.V. Club
