Light Bringer

Darrow returns as Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling series Red Rising 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 from the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend.

After a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow finds himself stranded far from home, longing to return to his wife and ruler Virginia to defend Mars against the bloodthirsty conqueror Lysander. Lysander aims to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and he will ravage the worlds to fulfill his ambitions.

The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves—Virginia, Cassius, Sevro—to defend the Republic. Thus begins Darrow's long journey home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends reunite, new alliances are forged, and rivals clash on the battlefield. For Eos's dream lives on—and after the dark age, a new age will come: of light, of victory, of hope.
