They told David it was impossible - that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart - invincible immortal unconquerable - is dead. And he died by Davids hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead it only made David realise he has questions. Big ones. And theres no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs. Babylon Restored the old borough of Manhattan has possibilities though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble Davids willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in Davids heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow he filled that hole with another Epic - Firefight. And hes willing to go on a quest darker and more dangerous even than the fight against Steelheart to find her and to get his answers.
