In Morning Star, Darrow fights against powerful enemies to inspire a revolution and reclaim freedom for his people, culminating in an epic conclusion.
In Morning Star, the third installment of the acclaimed Red Rising series, readers are thrust into a world where peace is a distant memory for Darrow. Once a figure of hope, he now faces the harsh reality of war as the Golds demand his loyalty, having already taken his wife and enslaved his people. With the odds stacked against him, Darrow is fueled by the desire for revenge and the need to reclaim his people’s freedom. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of Gold society, he is determined to inspire a revolution that will shake the very foundations of their oppressive world.
Darrow's journey is fraught with peril as he confronts powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power. The stakes are higher than ever, and betrayal lurks around every corner. Friends may become foes, and the line between loyalty and treachery blurs. In this gripping narrative, Darrow must find the strength to unite those who have been subjugated, urging them to rise against their cruel masters and seize the destiny that has been denied for far too long.
Morning Star is not just a story of war; it is a testament to resilience, hope, and the unyielding spirit of those who dare to dream of a better future. With vivid world-building and an intricate plot filled with twists, this conclusion is bound to leave readers breathless, reminding us all of the power of unity in the face of despair.
Pierce offers a Hollywood-ready story with plenty of action and thrills * Publishers Weekly *
Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. * Rising Shadow *
RED RISING is what The Hunger Games should have been. * Fiction Vortex *
Incredible Sci-Fi Cross Between 'Hunger Games' And 'Enders Game' Pulls It Off * Idigital Times *
It has hints of Harry Potter and Hunger Games, but it is its own animal. And it is not YA. The writing is excellent and the story is better. This is one terrific fantasy book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. * Terry Brooks *
With all of the tension of The Hunger Games and heady dose of savagery that lives somewhere in the space between The Lord of the Flies and ancient Greek mythology that revels in the violent deeds of the deities of old, RED RISING is compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining. The blend of familiar and unfailingly effective machinations that clash with the stark new reality Brown has created make this tale a must for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school dystopian epics. * Fantasy Review Barn *
RED RISING wouldn't exist without the countless classics it takes its cues from, but this great debut builds a formidable fortress upon their familiar foundations, making such interesting alterations along the way that its piecemeal parts are essentially rendered unrecognisable. Like mankind has in the past, Pierce Brown reaches for the stars, and mostly hits that monumental mark. * Tor.com *
The heart-stopping excitement of the Hunger Games meets the pulse-pounding majesty and complexity of Game of Thrones, all wrapped up in the visionary beauty and melancholy of Blade Runner... A shot of adrenalin for your imagination. * Star Magazine *
