***The explosive fifth novel in the Red Rising Series***
The Number One New York Times bestselling author of Morning Star returns to the Red Rising universe with the thrilling sequel to Iron Gold.
He broke the chains
Then broke the world....
A decade ago Darrow led a revolution, and laid the foundations for a new world. Now he's an outlaw.
Cast out of the very Republic he founded, with half his fleet destroyed, he wages a rogue war on Mercury. Outnumbered, outgunned but not out thought. Is he still the hero who broke the chains? Or will he become the agent of the world's destruction?
Is it time for another legend to take his place?
Lysander au Lune, the displaced heir to the old empire, has returned to the Core. First he must survive Gold backstabbing, then Darrow. Will he bring peace to mankind at the edge of his sword?
And on Luna, Mustang, the embattled sovereign of the Republic, must save both democracy and her exiled husband millions of kilometres away.
The only thing certain in the Solar System is treachery. And that the Rising is entering a new Dark Age.

Amazing, but depressing.
I had a love/hate relationship with it and now that it’s over I kinda feel abandoned.
So many contrasting feelings!
I still like the first trilogy the most, but I’m glad I can continue on reading about this world (and all of my dying favorite characters!)
Let's see how unlucky I am in choosing my favorite characters, shall we?
- Red Rising: Pax dies, but Sevro lives so I felt kind of ok.
- Golden son: the only time I liked Darrow he... survives, but he's buried alive so not an ideal fate. Victra is shot in the back twice and captured. Sevro still lives
- Morining Star: Ragnar dies the saddest death. Sevro miracolously survives after being thought dead. Victra is awesome. Cassius is stripped of everything and he's esiliated
- Iron Gold: Cassius is left for dead after his "son" betrays his ideals. (sorry, I didn't liked Sevro and Victra in this one as much)
- Dark Age: Alexandar is left for dead... then he's not but he's been mutilated ... and then he dies for real. Thraxa is ...well, not dead at least. Cassius is alive though, so yay...
You can see that if you like the same characters as me, chances are they're gonna die horribly.
Sorry!

“Red Rain, Red Rain!” – Dark Ages, Pierce Brown
I’ve finished. There will be nightmares. But I am ok with that.
