NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Red Rising hit the ground running and
wasted no time becoming a sensation. Golden Son continues the stunning
saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his
oppressed people to freedom.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR, BUZZFEED, AND
BOOKLIST - "Gripping . . . On virtually every level, this is a
sequel that hates sequels--a perfect fit for a hero who already defies
the tropes. [Grade: ] A"--Entertainment Weekly
As a Red, Darrow grew up working the mines deep beneath the surface of
Mars, enduring backbreaking labor while dreaming of the better future he
was building for his descendants. But the Society he faithfully served
was built on lies. Darrow's kind have been betrayed and denied by their
elitist masters, the Golds--and their only path to liberation is
revolution. And so Darrow sacrifices himself in the name of the greater
good for which Eo, his true love and inspiration, laid down her own
life. He becomes a Gold, infiltrating their privileged realm so that he
can destroy it from within.
A lamb among wolves in a cruel world, Darrow finds friendship, respect,
and even love--but also the wrath of powerful rivals. To wage and win
the war that will change humankind's destiny, Darrow must confront the
treachery arrayed against him, overcome his all-too-human desire for
retribution--and strive not for violent revolt but a hopeful rebirth.
Though the road ahead is fraught with danger and deceit, Darrow must
choose to follow Eo's principles of love and justice to free his people.
He must live for more.
