MORNING STAR: The Red Rising series (Book 3) by Pierce Brown

The explosive, operatic conclusion to the original Red Rising trilogy takes the interstellar revolution to a breathtaking, heart-stopping climax. Darrow of Lykos would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The cruel, ruling Gold caste demanded his absolute obedience, hanged his beloved wife, and enslaved his people. In a desperate bid to tear the oppressive planetary hierarchy apart from within, Darrow risked everything to surgically alter his body and infiltrate the highest ranks of Gold society. Now, the time has finally come to strike in MORNING STAR: the Red Rising series (Book 3).

In this final phase of the rebellion, the stakes have never been higher, and the hunger for vengeance runs incredibly deep on both sides. Darrow and his fierce, loyal comrades-in-arms must confront merciless, highly skilled adversaries who will stop at nothing to preserve their dominion—including enemies Darrow once proudly called friends. To claim a destiny too long denied and secure a future of freedom for the lower Colors, Darrow must inspire those shackled in darkness to rise up, break their chains, and completely unmake the ruthless solar empire built by their masters.
