Pierce Brown Libri

Darrow ha sedici anni, vive su Marte ed è uno dei Rossi. La casta più bassa, minatori condannati a scavare nelle profondità del pianeta a temperature intollerabili, rischiando ogni giorno la propria vita. Ma Darrow sa di farlo per rendere abitabile la superficie di Marte, per dare una terra alle nuove generazioni. E a ripagarlo dei sacrifici c'è l'amore per Eo, bellissima e idealista. Finché un giorno i due innamorati sono sorpresi a baciarsi in un luogo dove non avrebbero dovuto, sono processati e condannati da un giudice appartenente alla casta degli Oro, la classe dominante. E mentre Eo riceve le frustate di punizione, la sua voce si scioglie in un canto dolcissimo, un canto proibito di rivolta e speranza, lo stesso canto che era costato la vita al padre di Darrow. E ora costerà la vita a Eo.

Come la sua gente, i Rossi, Darrow è stato un minatore costretto a scavare nelle profondità del pianeta Marte a temperature intollerabili. Per dare una nuova terra alle future generazioni, credeva lui. Ma la Società che serviva l'ha tradito, nella maniera più crudele. Gli ha portato via la sua innamorata, Eo, e si è rivelata per quello che è, una casta di privilegiati che vivono di bugie e sopraffazioni. La decisione più difficile e pericolosa è ora alla sua portata: infiltrarsi tra gli Oro e diventare uno di loro, per riscattare il sacrificio di Eo e dei suoi, per portare il proprio popolo alla liberazione. "Golden Son" è il secondo volume della saga.

Book 3 of the new trilogy that takes place after the end of Morning Star which will center around the consequences of the hero’s actions as well as on those folks now living and growing up in a landscape that’s had its ruling order shattered.

Darrow is a Helldiver, one of a thousand men and women who live in the vast caves beneath the surface of Mars, generations of people who spend their lives toiling to mine the precious elements that will allow the planet to be terraformed. Just knowing that, one day, people will be able to walk the surface of the planet is enough to justify their sacrifice. The Earth is dying, and Darrow and his people are the only hope humanity has left. Until the day Darrow learns that it is all a lie. That Mars has been habitable - and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought. Until the day Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their society.

For a decade Darrow led a revolution against the corrupt color-coded Society. Now, outlawed by the very Republic he founded, he wages a rogue war on Mercury in hopes that he can still salvage the dream of Eo. But as he leaves death and destruction in his wake, is he still the hero who broke the chains? Or will another legend rise to take his place? Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile, has returned to the Core. Determined to bring peace back to mankind at the edge of his sword, he must overcome or unite the treacherous Gold families of the Core and face down Darrow over the skies of war-torn Mercury. But theirs are not the only fates hanging in the balance. On Luna, Mustang, Sovereign of the Republic, campaigns to unite the Republic behind her husband. Beset by political and criminal enemies, can she outwit her opponents in time to save him? Once a Red refugee, young Lyria now stands accused of treason, and her only hope is a desperate escape with unlikely new allies. Abducted by a new threat to the Republic, Pax and Electra, the children of Darrow and Sevro, must trust in Ephraim, a thief, for their salvation--and Ephraim must look to them for his chance at redemption. As alliances shift, break, and re-form--and power is seized, lost, and reclaimed--every player is at risk in a game of conquest that could turn the Rising into a new Dark Age.

Ender's Game meets The Hunger Games in MORNING STAR , the second in an extraordinary trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of RED RISING. 'I'm still playing games. This is just the deadliest yet.' Darrow is a rebel forged by tragedy. For years he and his fellow Reds worked the mines, toiling to make the surface of Mars inhabitable. They were, they believed, mankind's last hope. Until Darrow discovered that it was all a lie, and that the Red were nothing more than unwitting slaves to an elitist ruling class, the Golds, who had been living on Mars in luxury for generations. In RED RISING, Darrow infiltrated Gold society, to fight in secret for a better future for his people. Now fully embedded amongst the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his dangerous work to bring them down from within. It's a journey that will take him further than he's ever been before - but is Darrow truly willing to pay the price that rebellion demands? A life-or-death tale of vengeance with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees Pierce Brown's continuing status as one of fiction's most exciting new voices.
