A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson.
When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right.
Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.
They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled.
Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.
But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas. So Jax and his ragtag team - the few who remain of the once-mighty Texas Reckoners - must take their battle to this floating fortress of riches - and defeat the invincible.
To avenge what has been lost. And rise anew.
The series
In the Texas Reckoners series, co-authored by Brandon Sanderson and Steven Bohls, the familiar world of the Reckoners is expanded into new, treacherous territory. After the Calamity has warped the world, some humans—known as Epics—wield godlike powers that strike fear into the hearts of the population. These superhuman beings have turned the world upside down, leaving only remnants of hope in the hands of those who dare to resist.
Read full series description
The series shifts focus to a new team of Reckoners, based in Texas, where the stakes are even higher and the enemies more unpredictable. Led by Jax, a fierce and determined survivor, the group is committed to dismantling the reign of the Epics, one power-hungry villain at a time. With the high-tech floating city of Lux as their target, the team must face off against a force unlike any they’ve encountered before—an Epic with control over life itself. Lifeforce, the High Epic of Lux, is just one of many new challenges the Reckoners must confront in their fight for freedom.
Texas Reckoners doesn’t just continue the action-packed saga of resistance against the Epics; it brings fresh layers of intensity, with complex characters caught between their pasts and the brutal present they inhabit. The world-building is immersive, the stakes are personal, and the atmosphere crackles with tension. The heroes are not invincible, and every victory feels like a temporary reprieve from a much larger war.
Fans of Sanderson’s intricately crafted worlds and Bohls’ dynamic storytelling will find themselves pulled into a narrative filled with moral quandaries, heart-pounding action, and thought-provoking moments about the nature of power, sacrifice, and survival. The Texas Reckoners series offers a rich blend of heart, grit, and strategic brilliance, weaving together familiar elements of the Reckoners universe with fresh, compelling twists. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Reckoners world or new to the saga, this series offers a captivating glimpse into what happens when hope is the most dangerous weapon of all.
