Morning Star. Book 3. Piers Brown

Part 3 of the Red Rebellion series.

Darrow dreamed of living in peace, but his enemies brought him war. But the boy did not resign. Risking everything, he changed himself, took root in the society of the Goldens and survived the cruel competitions that temper the most dangerous warriors of the hierarchy. He rose step by step, patiently waiting for the moment when he could unleash a revolution and destroy the system from within.

And finally that time has come.

But loyalty to honor and a thirst for revenge are equally deep on both sides of the conflict. Darrow and his brothers will face enemies who know neither pity nor mercy. Among them are those whom he once considered friends. To win, he will have to ignite a spark of hope in the hearts of the enslaved, force them to break their chains, destroy the world built by cruel masters, and seize a destiny too long taken away—and too great to give up.
