Dark Age

Book • 2015
In 'Dark Age,' Pierce Brown continues the epic Red Rising series with a story that unfolds ten years after the events of the first trilogy.

Darrow, the hero who led a revolution against the corrupt color-coded Society, is now outlawed by the very Republic he founded.

He wages a war on Mercury, leaving destruction in his wake, and faces questions about his continued heroism.

Meanwhile, Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile, seeks to bring peace back to mankind by uniting or overcoming the treacherous Gold families of the Core.

Mustang, the Sovereign of the Republic, works to unite the Republic behind her husband despite political and criminal enemies.

The story also follows the fates of Lyria, accused of treason, and Pax and Electra, the children of Darrow and Sevro, as they navigate abduction and seek salvation with the help of Ephraim, a thief.

The novel is characterized by its intricate web of power games, shifting alliances, and the looming threat of a new Dark Age for the Rising.
