Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age.
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.
Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be conqueror Lysander.
Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions.
The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves—Virginia, Cassius, Sevro—in order to defend the Republic.
So begins Darrow’s long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield.
Because Eo’s dream is still alive—and after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A duel between two legendary warriors may decide the fate of worlds in this harrowing science fiction adventure. Darrow, who has risen from a lowly Martian miner to become the revolutionary leader known as the Reaper, knows it’s time to leave the war he started in the hands of others. Yet when a mission to rescue a friend turns out to be a trap set by an old enemy, Darrow finds himself once again fighting for his life. Author Pierce Brown infuses this installment in the Red Rising series with elements of Greek and Roman mythology, creating a vivid world that we found both immersive and unique. As the plot ramps up, Darrow’s past choices come back to haunt him, and we loved seeing Darrow start to realize that, much like Homer’s Odysseus, every adventure has the potential for both victory and tragedy. Light Bringer is a sci-fi odyssey you’ll want to embark on.

The best series on the planet
Without a doubt my favorite series of books to ever exist.
I wish it hadn’t ended
I haven’t loved reading a book like this in a long time. Brilliantly written and structured. Such highs and lows, such an incredible ride I wish it never ended. It made me want to start the series over, which I will while I endure the wait for the next book in the series. Incredible.
