Synopses & Reviews
Red Rising thrilled readers and announced the presence of a talented new author. Golden Son changed
the game and took the story of Darrow to the next level. Now comes the
exhilarating conclusion to the Red Rising Trilogy: Morning Star.
Darrow
would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold
overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his
people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to
transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive
the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors,
climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that
will tear the hierarchy apart from within.
Finally, the time has come.
But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides.
Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or
mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win,
Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their
chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a
destiny too long denied—and too glorious to surrender.
Review
“Multilayered and seething with characters who exist in a shadow world between history and myth, much as in Frank Herbert’s Dune . . . an ambitious and satisfying conclusion to a monumental saga.” Kirkus Reviews
