Iron Gold, Dark Age, and Lightbringer form a trilogy that takes place ten years after the events of Red Rising, Golden Son, and Morning Star. However, despite being considered a single series by many of its fans, the Red Rising books are actually split up into two trilogies.
The character names are also an ode to Ancient Rome with three of the novel’s leading characters (and fan favorites) being Cassius au Bellona, Virginia au Augustus, and Sevro au Barca. Moreover, each House at the Institute is named after Roman gods, such as Mars, Venus, Apollo, and Jupiter. It’s very reminiscent of the competition in The Hunger Games and capture-the-flag in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians. With the help of a revolutionary group, Darrow disguises himself as a Gold and enrolls in the Institute, a deadly academy where young Golds train to rule through a years-long battle with their classmates. When Darrow, a Red from Mars, loses his wife at the hands of a Gold, he makes the fateful decision to infiltrate the ruling class and tear them apart from the top-down, not only for the sake of avenging his wife but for the sake of salvaging civilization and democracy.
While the Golds dominate the social ladder, the Reds sit at the bottom. The series takes place in a futuristic society where rank is determined by color caste, such as Blue, Red, Obsidian, Gold, and Violet. Light Bringer is to be the sixth book in the series, the first five being Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star, Iron Gold, and Dark Age. Having started and caught up with the series back in May of 2021, I’m certainly among them.

Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet.ĭarrow - and Reds like him - are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
