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.

Sie hätten die Menschheit retten können. Sie hätten Frieden und Wohlstand bringen können. Stattdessen brannten sie alles nieder. Mordeten. Eroberten. Und rissen die Macht an sich.
