Darrow is a Red—Mars’ lowest caste, enslaved beneath the surface to prepare the world for future generations. At least, that’s the lie he’s been told.
When he learns that humanity has already claimed the planet and that Reds are nothing more than expendable labor to the elite Golds, Darrow’s world shatters. Driven by grief and justice, he sacrifices everything to become what he hates most: a Gold.
Infiltrating the Institute—a brutal training ground for the ruling class—Darrow must outwit, outfight, and outlast the most dangerous youth in the solar system. But the cost of rebellion may be losing himself.
Red Rising is a ferocious, high-stakes dystopian epic that blends the politics of Ender’s Game with the brutality of The Hunger Games. Rise or burn.
