Red Rising
This dystopian sci-fi saga begins with Red Rising, where Darrow, a low-caste miner on Mars, infiltrates the ruling elite to incite revolution. Spanning multiple trilogies (Red Rising, Iron Gold, and the upcoming Light Bringer), the series explores rebellion, loyalty, and the cost of power. With brutal action, Roman-inspired politics, and shifting alliances, Red Rising blends sci-fi and myth in a relentless, emotionally charged narrative. It’s a dark, ambitious series about rising against injustice and becoming the symbol of change.
Darrow is a Helldiver. A pioneer of Mars. Born to slave beneath the earth so that one day, future generations might live above it. He is a Red - humankind's lowest caste. But he has something the Golds - the ruthless ruling class - will never understand. He has a wife he worships, a family who give him strength. He has love. And when they take that from him, all that remains is revenge.
