Bookroo's summary

David faces his greatest challenge yet as his closest ally, Prof, succumbs to his Epic powers, becoming a formidable enemy. With redemption seemingly impossible, David must confront the most powerful High Epic to save his friend. Can he defy the odds and bring Prof back from the brink, or will he perish in the attempt? In a world where Epics rule with fear, David's daring quest for redemption and friendship will test his courage and resolve to the limit.

From the publisher

Read the final book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Reckoners series by worldwide bestselling author Brandon Sanderson! 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 Prof, 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. Praise for the Reckoners series: #1 New York Times Bestselling Series “Another win for Sanderson . . . he’s simply a brilliant writer. Period.” –Patrick Rothfuss, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The Name of the Wind “Action-packed.” –EW.com “Compelling. . . . Sanderson uses plot twists that he teases enough for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic reveals he has in store.” –The A.V. Club
