Lux: A Texas Reckoners Novel is an upcoming novel set in the universe of The Reckoners. It is being developed under Brandon's Mainframe production company, which is focused on audio originals.[1] It will initially be released as an Audible original on July 22, 2021.[2] A print version is planned at some point in the future.[3]
Cover Synopsis
“A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson, the best-selling author of the Stormlight Archive and Mistborn series, and co-author Steven Michael Bohls.
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.
But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas. So Jax and his ragtag team – the few who remain of the once-mighty Texas Reckoners – must take their battle to this floating fortress of riches – and defeat the invincible.
To avenge what has been lost. And rise anew.
”

Development
In 2019, Steven Michael Bohls mentioned that he was working with Brandon on an expansion to the Reckoners universe, and had been given quite a bit of autonomy on the project. It was conceived as both a spinoff and a sequel of the original trilogy, following a different team of Reckoners. Steven anticipated writing three novellas for the audio original format that would then be consolidated as a sequel in print.[5]
Brandon mentioned a planned Reckoners project for Mainframe in 2020 and again referred to the project as a trio of novellas.[6] In late 2020 and early 2021, Steven posted a few updates about the development process on social media; the working title was Deathrise.[7][8] It is unclear if the three planned novellas were consolidated to become Lux or if the first planned novella was extended to novel length.
