Pierce Brown, "Dark Age"

Pierce Brown discusses his novel, "Dark Age", at Politics and Prose.

The award-winning author of the Red Rising trilogy, Brown returned to the kingdom in Iron Gold, launching a second series set ten years after events in the first. His new volume opens with Darrow exiled from the Republic he founded after his rebellion against its corrupt Society; leaving destruction in his wake, is he still the hero he was? Meanwhile, Lysander au Lune battles the Gold families of the Core and prepares to challenge Darrow over the future of Mercury, and Mustang, on Luna, works to unite the Republic behind her husband. A shimmering work of breaking and shifting alliances, the novel charts an intricate web of power games.
