The setting of The Reckoners series is a twenty-first century alternate Earth. Visible in the sky is a large red object called Calamity (a high-powered Gifting Epic), which appeared twelve years before the events of Steelheart. One year after the emergence of Calamity, the Epics, super-powered humans, appeared.
