Calamity

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • A stunning new edition of the action-packed final book in Brandon Sanderson’s Reckoners series—featuring a new cover and a spine design that stretches across all three books!

"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

When Calamity lit up the sky, the Epics—people with extraordinary powers—were born. David’s fate has been tied to their villainy ever since. And now Regalia has turned Prof, David’s closest ally and leader of the Reckoners, into a deadly enemy.

Everyone knows there’s no turning back once a person gives in to their Epic powers. But Epics aren’t lost. Not completely. Megan proved that. And David is just foolish enough to face down the most powerful High Epic of all to get his friend back. Or die trying.
