The Reckoners
The Reckoners is a young adult fantasy trilogy consisting of the following books:
and a short novelette, Mitosis, which takes place between the events of Steelheart and Firefight. [1]
Brandon initially planned another series in the same universe, The Apocalypse Guard, about a group that works to save planets from mass extinctions.[2] The first book, however, didn't work, and Brandon is currently working on revising with the help of his friend and author Dan Wells.[3]
