Steelheart is an upcoming young adult fantasy book written by American author Brandon Sanderson and the first book in the Reckoners series.[1] The book will be released through Delacorte Press on September 24, 2013 and will be Sanderson's first novel not set in a separate fantasy or science fiction world. Film rights to the novel were optioned by FilmEngine in July of 2012.[2]

Sanderson stated that he was inspired to write Steelheart after being cut off by another driver and thinking "if I was a supervillain this guy would just be… BOOM."[3]

Synopsis

The book tells the story of a group of people called Epics, of whom all are superpowered, and all of them are evil. One of those extraordinarily powerful persons, Steelheart, declares himself Emperor of Chicago and the legend says no bullet can harm him. He is invincible.

Only one group of resistance dares to fight Steelheart - the Reckoners. These are a group of ordinary humans who study the Epics, trying to find their weak points. David Charleston dreams of joining the Reckoners, and he has a plan to do just that. He once saw Steelheart bleed.
