Steelheart

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The villainy of the Epics was born. Nobody fought back—nobody except the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans who spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.

Steelheart is the most powerful Epic of them all, ruling Newcago with an iron fist and invincible powers. But David has seen him bleed. Driven by revenge for his father’s murder, David dedicates his life to joining the Reckoners and taking down the tyrant who seems impossible to defeat.

It offers a brilliant, dark twist on the superhero genre combined with fast-paced action, intricate world-building, and Brandon Sanderson's signature plot twists. It's an unforgettable adrenaline-fueled ride from start to finish.

Perfect for fans of action-packed sci-fi/fantasy, dystopian fiction, superhero tropes with a dark twist, and readers who love fast-paced, high-stakes rebellion stories.
