What this book is about
A decade after the events of Morning Star, the Red Rising Saga returns with four point-of-view characters: Darrow, now leading an unsanctioned war; Lyria, a Red refugee; Lysander au Lune, a young Gold heir in exile; and Lysander's companion Sevro. Brown's fourth Red Rising volume expands the story's scope and moral complexity considerably, forcing readers and characters alike to examine whether the revolution was worth what it cost.
