There was calamity ten years ago. It was a skyburst that bestowed upon common men and women with remarkable abilities. The amazed people began referring to them as Epics. However, epics are not man's friends. Amazing talents were accompanied with a drive to dominate. And you have to break man's will to govern him.
Only the Reckoners battle against the Epics. They are a mysterious gang of common people who study epics to identify their flaws and carry out their assassinations.
David is eager to join. Steelheart, the Epic who is supposedly unbeatable, is what he desires. David's father was slain by the Epic. David has been preparing and researching for years, just like the Reckoners, and he has something they need. Not anything tangible, but an encounter.
He saw Steelheart's bleeding. And he seeks retribution.
