In the ruins of Chicago, the invincible Epic Steelheart rules as emperor, feared for his unmatched strength and elemental control. Only the Reckoners, a secret group of humans dedicated to studying and assassinating Epics, dare to resist. David, whose father was killed by Steelheart, has spent years preparing for revenge because he alone has seen Steelheart bleed.
