Power, rebellion, and revenge in a transformed Chicago

A sky-wide event called Calamity has changed the balance of power: ordinary people gain extraordinary abilities, and the public names them Epics. In a city once known as Chicago, Steelheart is an apparently invincible ruler whose violence is personal for David Charleston. David’s attempt to oppose him brings him into contact with the Reckoners, a rebel group pursuing justice. The setup combines super-powered conflict with a question of how people can challenge power when its holders seem untouchable. As the opening book of the Reckoners series, it establishes the world and the struggle that drives the series forward.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in super-powered fiction
  • Readers who enjoy stories about rebellion against powerful antagonists
  • Fans of speculative settings built around extraordinary abilities

Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES - Discover the action-packed first book in Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners series--a high-stakes, super-powered saga from the internationally-bestselling author who redefined modern epic fantasy!

"Another win for Sanderson . . . he's simply a brilliant writer. Period."--Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind

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.

David Charleston will go to any lengths to stop Steelheart--the villainous, seemingly invincible Epic who killed his father and wreaks havoc on the city that was once Chicago. But to exact revenge in Steelheart's world, David will need the Reckoners, a shadowy group of rebels bent on maintaining justice.

And it turns out that the Reckoners just might need David too.
