From the bestselling author of the Mistborn series and Words of Radiance comes Calamity, the final book in the New York Times bestselling Reckoners series. What started in the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Steelheart and continued in the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Firefight now concludes in Calamity.

When Calamity lit up the sky, the Epics were born. David’s fate has been tied to their villainy ever since that historic night. Steelheart killed his father. Firefight stole his heart. And now Regalia has turned his closest ally into a dangerous enemy.

David knew Prof’s secret, and kept it even when Prof struggled to control the effects of his Epic powers. But facing Obliteration in Babilar was too much. Once the Reckoners’ leader, Prof has now embraced his Epic destiny. He’s disappeared into those murky shadows of menace Epics are infamous for the world over, and everyone knows there’s no turning back...

But everyone is wrong. Redemption is possible for Epics — Megan proved it. They’re not lost. Not completely. And David is just about crazy enough to face down the most powerful High Epic of all to get his friend back. Or die trying.

Brandon Sanderson

Few modern fantasy authors have reshaped the genre quite like Brandon Sanderson. Renowned for his intricate worldbuilding, innovative magic systems, and compelling character arcs, he has captivated millions of readers worldwide. His work blends epic storytelling with meticulous attention to detail, making his novels both immersive and intellectually engaging.

Breaking onto the scene with Elantris, he quickly gained recognition, but it was Mistborn: The Final Empire that solidified his place among the genre’s greats. The trilogy introduced a unique alchemical-inspired magic system, Allomancy, and a cast of unforgettable characters navigating a world of oppression and rebellion. His ability to craft deep, well-structured narratives continued with The Stormlight Archive, a sweeping epic that has drawn comparisons to some of fantasy’s most revered sagas.

Beyond his original works, his contribution to Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series was a defining moment in his career. Handpicked to complete the legendary saga after Jordan’s passing, he delivered a masterful conclusion with The Gathering Storm, Towers of Midnight, and A Memory of Light, staying true to the spirit of the original while infusing it with his own storytelling finesse.

Themes of perseverance, sacrifice, and the nature of power echo throughout his books. His magic systems are not mere plot devices but deeply integrated elements that shape cultures, economies, and conflicts. This meticulous approach extends to his worldbuilding, where each setting feels rich, lived-in, and distinct.

His prolific output and ability to consistently deliver high-quality, ambitious narratives have garnered him a dedicated fanbase. Through projects like the Cosmere, a shared universe linking many of his novels, he has built an interconnected web of stories that continue to reward long-time readers with hidden connections and expansive lore.

In addition to his novels, he is known for his deep engagement with fans, often sharing insights into his writing process and publishing updates through social media and his online lectures. His record-breaking Kickstarter campaign for self-published works showcased not just his popularity but also his innovative approach to modern publishing.

With each new book, he pushes the boundaries of fantasy, proving that the genre still has endless depths to explore. Whether through epic sagas, standalone masterpieces, or groundbreaking experiments in storytelling, his impact on fantasy literature is undeniable, and his legacy continues to grow with every spellbinding tale.
