Red Rising

Darrow is a lowborn "Red" miner who toils beneath Mars, believing his sacrifices are preparing the surface for future generations. After discovering that the ruling "Gold" caste has lived in luxury on the surface for centuries while keeping the Reds enslaved, Darrow infiltrates their elite war academy as a masquerading Gold to destroy the Society from within.

Golden Son

Darrow has successfully embedded himself deep within the highest echelons of Gold society, acting as a trusted soldier while hiding his true identity. He navigates deadly political infighting and fragile alliances to spark a civil war among the Golds, creating an opening for the low-Color revolution.

Morning Star

Darrow's rebellion spreads across the solar system in a final war against the Sovereign. To break the chains of the Society for good, he must unite disparate factions and risk everything he loves to birth a new democratic republic.

Iron Gold

Set a decade after Morning Star, the newly formed Solar Republic is locked in a brutal war against remaining Gold factions. As Darrow goes rogue to finish the war, the narrative introduces multiple perspectives, showing that the collapse of the old empire has brought new forms of suffering and moral ambiguity.

Dark Age

The conflict reaches a devastating flashpoint as enemies of the Republic mount a ruthless counter-offensive. Outlawed by the senate he helped create, Darrow wages a bloody campaign on Mercury, while his wife Virginia fights a losing political battle against subversion on Luna.

Light Bringer

Marooned far from home and separated from his forces, Darrow must embark on a long interplanetary voyage back to Mars. To defend what remains of the Republic against ascendant threats, he has to reconnect with old friends, forge unlikely alliances, and rediscover the core values that originally inspired the revolution.
