When the glowing red star Calamity appeared in the sky, it did not bring hope, it brought monsters. Ordinary humans were transformed into Epics, beings with godlike powers who quickly enslaved the rest of humanity. Jax knows this brutal reality better than anyone. Orphaned young, he has dedicated his life to training as a Reckoner, a secret rebel force determined to find the Epics' hidden weaknesses and take them down. Now, the ultimate threat has arrived in Texas: the mysterious High Epic known as Lifeforce. And he has not come alone. Lifeforce commands Lux, a massive, floating fortress-city designed to plunder everything in its path. With the odds impossibly stacked against them, Jax and his ragtag crew of surviving Texas Reckoners must pull off the ultimate heist. They have to infiltrate the flying city, navigate its deadly defenses, and assassinate an invincible tyrant. Packed with explosive action, clever twists, and high-stakes rebellion, this thrilling adventure expands the blockbuster Reckoners universe in an unforgettable way.
