Morning Star is the concluding volume in Pierce Brown's Red Rising trilogy. It follows Darrow, a man born into the lowest social caste on Mars who was surgically transformed to pass as a member of the ruling Gold class. Having spent years embedded among the Golds, Darrow moves from covert infiltration to open armed revolution, seeking to dismantle the hierarchical society responsible for the death of his wife and the subjugation of his people.
