“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

David Charleston has lived for one purpose: to kill Steelheart, the supremely powerful, seemingly invincible Epic who murdered his father. Now Steelheart is dead, and David is beginning to question everything that he—and the world—understands about the superhumans they call Epics.

There is someone who might have answers, though. And David’s suspicions are leading straight to her—another Epic, Firefight—and to the flooded city once known as New York. But what he finds there could burn deepest of all. . .
