Publisher's Summary

Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age.

“The measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends.”—Virginia au Augustus

The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains.

But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend.

The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Completely Epic

Pierce Brown this is for you. Don’t have an end to this series. I will buy every hard copy and audio book you ever make in this series. I’ve read and listened to the greatest writers and story tellers of our time. The red rising series is LEVELS above anything ever produced. Exciting, emotional, heroic, action packed and riveting. Thank you for allowing me to live this world though your words.

The audio performance is incredible. Hats off to a masterpiece.

Great book

Story is great but I found the narrator hard to pay attention to. Had to rewind often and listen again.

Another great book

I really love following the exploits of Darrow and was thrilled by this book. Expertly written and narrated. I would recommend starting the series at the start and working your way through to this point chronologically as the character development is unrivalled and the story often twists in ways that you just don't see coming.

Does not disappoint!

This series continues and does not grow old or tired. Would love to see the story line adapt to the next generation as main characters.

fantastic

Peirce, your writing has evolved so incredibly over the years. You've absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. Side note you've broken my heart, and I won't forgive you.

amazing addition

This book is exactly what we wanted after Dark ages.

The narrator is great, but I preferred when they had different narrators foe different POV chapters. its odd hearing Lyrua in the same voice as Darrow
