Dark Age
ByPublisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of Morning Star returns to the Red Rising universe with the thrilling sequel to Iron Gold.
“Brown’s plots are like a depth charge of nitromethane dropped in a bucket of gasoline. His pacing is 100% him standing over it all with a lit match and a smile, waiting for us to dare him to drop it.”—NPR (Best Books of the Year)
He broke the chains. Then he 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 and outgunned, is he still the hero who broke the chains? Or will he become the very evil he fought to destroy?
In his darkening shadow, a new hero rises.
Lysander au Lune, the displaced heir to the old empire, has returned to bridge the divide between the Golds of the Rim and Core. If united, their combined might may prove fatal to the fledgling Republic.
On Luna, the embattled Sovereign of the Republic, Virginia au Augustus, fights to preserve her precious demokracy and her exiled husband. But one may cost her the other, and her son is not yet returned.
Abducted by enemy agents, Pax au Augustus must trust in a Gray thief, Ephraim, for his salvation.
Far across the void, Lyria, a Red refugee accused of treason, makes a desperate bid for freedom with the help of two unlikely new allies.
Fear dims the hopes of the Rising, and as power is seized, lost, and reclaimed, the worlds spin on and on toward a new Dark Age.

“Pierce Brown does it again. Much better than Iron Gold. The multiple perspectives grew on me as the storylines that were set up have been paid off. Another dose of peak, can’t wait to start Lightbringer!”KaishaM

“Will i ever know peace and happiness in this world? probably not
Will i continue reading? absofuckinglutely
6 Stars
i cried and almost threw up most of the chapters but it was the best experience of my life.
all the character’s pov’s were perfect , even Lyria’s, i truly felt that all the deaths in the book had its purpose but i still wanted to jump off a cliff when Alexandar and Eprhaim died.
I’m so happy Cassius is back and can’t wait to see how Darrow it’s gonna win this war.
Lysander you better watch your fucking back”
