 WARNING: Late Arrival Spoilers abound for Steelheart and Firefight.Third book in The Reckoners Trilogy.Following Regalia's successful plot to turn Prof into her successor, the Reckoners are on the run. Jonathan Phaedrus, now known only as Limelight, has destroyed all their cells and safehouses, leaving only David's remaining team. They are underequipped and overwhelmed, so they turn to the only option available to them: Steal from Knighthawk Foundry to get the equipment they need.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Once that job is done, they travel to what was once Atlanta, now Ildithia, the city of salt. Prof has appeared there, following Regalia's plan, aiming to wrest control of the city away from its current master Larcener. Larcener is an exceptionally rare Epic called an assumer, who can steal the powers of other Epics. Furthermore, unlike most assumers, he can steal these powers permanently and hold as many as he wants. The only reason he doesn't rule the world is because he is too lazy to care.The Reckoners must discover and thwart Prof's plans, try to cure him of Calamity's corruption, and discover the last secrets of the powers, all while surviving in a city that slowly crumbles and rebuilds itself every seven days.

 Alien Noninterference Clause: Weird example. Calamity, and beings like him, are created to show up on worlds and grant powers, then leave. Calamity stays because he's curious, but doesn't realize that his very existence (and loathing for humanity) is corrupting and affecting the powers. Once he realizes that humans aren't innately evil and it's been him all along, he breaks down and is forced to leave.

 All-Powerful Bystander: Despite having so many powers, Larcener is reluctant to get involved with anything, mostly because he's a Lazy Bum at his core. Actually, it's because he's really Calamity himself, and wants to prove that it is In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves. Not only would getting involved negate his entire point, he's actually not allowed to.

 Alternate Self: Firefight, Megan's alternate, shows up again, enough that he can actually talk to David. In his universe, David and Prof are dead, but Prof's daughter Tavi has a near-identical powerset. David's father is alive, and is the greatest hero, wielding all of Steelheart's powers.
