The title of the book is named for a mysterious red star that appeared in the sky about a year before the Epics[[Epic]]s started getting their powers. It is later discovered that the red star is actually an Epic named [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]], and Calamity is apparently capable of giving ordinary humans Epic powers.

===Part One===
[[Tia]] is missing and the [[Reckoners]] are low on resources. Knighthawk won't deal with them any more, so [[David Charleston|David]] leads the Reckoners on a raid on [[Knighthawk Foundry]], which is heavily guarded by gun-toting robots and drones. David manages to make it inside and steal some vials from a freezer, hoping to acquire some Epic-derived technology. He is badly wounded and eventually captured by [[Dean Knighthawk|Knighthawk]] himself. He gives them some aid in exchange for the secret to keeping back the darkness. He also reveals the secret of how motivators are made and gives David a tissue sample incubator in order to collect some of Prof's tissue.
 
===Part Two===
The team heads to Ildithia which has "traveled" to somewhere near Kansas City. They arrive disguised as refugees and soon encounter [[Jonathan Phaedrus|Prof]] strutting through the city as Limelight, declaring himself as lord of the city. He is hunting for the current Epic in charge, [[Larcener]]. David and [[Abraham]] trace a shipment of cola to Tia, who already has plans to kill Prof. However, Prof has also traced her, and she gives herself up to Prof to avoid a hopeless battle. She gives a chip to David containing her plans and asks him to rescue her.
