For ti år siden kom ulykken. En eksplosion på himlen gav almindelige mænd og kvinder ekstraordinære kræfter. Offentligheden begyndte i ærefrygt at kalde dem episke. Men episke er ikke venner med menneskerne. Med de utrolige kræfter fulgte et ønske om at regere. Og for at regere mennesket, må du knuse hans vilje. Ingen bekæmper episke... ingen andre end Frontløberne. En skyggefuld gruppe af almindelige mennesker, der bruger deres liv på at studere episke, finde deres svagheder og derefter myrde dem. Og David vil være med. Han vil have ram på Stålhjerte –Den episke, der siges at være uovervindelig. Den episke, der dræbte Davids far. I årevis har David, ligesom Frontløberne, studeret og planlagt – og han har noget, de har brug for. Ikke et objekt, men en oplevelse. Han har set Stålhjerte bløde. Og han vil have hævn.
