Calamity es el tercer volumen de la elogiada «Trilogía de los Reckoners» de Brandon Sanderson, el autor de fantasía épica que más lectores está ganado en todo el mundo y que ya se ha convertido en el futuro heredero del trono de todo un género.
Los Épicos nacieron cuando Calamity iluminó los cielos. Desde esa noche histórica, el destino de David ha estado entrelazado con el de esos malvados. Steelherat asesinó a su padre. Firefight le robó el corazón. Y ahora Regalia ha convertido a su mayor aliado en un peligroso enemigo.
David conocía el secreto del Profesor. Secreto que guardó incluso cuando el Profesor se esforzaba por controlar los efectos de sus poderes épicos. Pero no pudo superar enfrentarse a Obliterarion en Babilar. El Profesor, que fue líder de los Reckoners, se ha entregado totalmente a su destino de Épico. Se ha hundido en esas tenebrosas sombras de violencia propias de los Épicos. Y todos saben que de las sombras no se vuelve...
Pero todos se equivocan. Es posible redimir a los Épicos. Megan ya lo demostró. No todo está perdido. Al menos, no definitivamente. Y David está lo bastante loco como para enfrentarse al Gran Épico más poderoso de la historia con tal de recuperar a su amigo. O morir en el intento.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
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.
