Book Description

Red Rising is a dystopian science fiction novel by Pierce Brown that launches the Red Rising Saga. Set in a future society divided by a rigid, color-coded caste system, the story follows Darrow, a lowborn Red who infiltrates the ruling Gold elite after a brutal personal loss. As Darrow navigates a ruthless institute designed to forge leaders through violence and deception, he must balance his role as a revolutionary with the moral cost of survival. Fast-paced and intensely dramatic, the novel explores power, inequality, loyalty, and rebellion.

Born in 1988 in Denver, Colorado, Brown studied political science and economics, interests that strongly influence the themes of power, class struggle, and revolution that run through his work. Before publishing his first novel, he worked various jobs while querying agents and refining the manuscript that would become Red Rising (2014).
