About “Light Bringer”
The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man, known as the savior of worlds and leader of the Rising. But the Reaper is also Darrow, a man born of the red soil of Mars, who is also a husband, father, and friend. After a devastating defeat on Mercury, Darrow is stranded far from home, longing to return to his wife, Virginia, and defend Mars from Lysander, a ruthless enemy seeking to destroy the Rising and restore Gold's dominance. Lysander aims to crush the rebellion and reclaim power. The worlds once relied on the Reaper, but now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs those he loves—Virginia, Cassius, and Sevro—to protect the Republic. Darrow begins a long journey home, facing battles, reunions, and new alliances. Eo’s dream remains alive, and after a dark age, a new era of light and victory is coming.
Praise for “Light Bringer”
“[Pierce] Brown’s plots are like a depth charge of nitromethane dropped in a bucket of gasoline. His pacing is 100 percent him standing over it all with a lit match and a smile, waiting for us to dare him to drop it.”
“An epic story of rebellion, social unrest, and sacrifice.”
“Much like A Song of Ice and Fire’s George R. R. Martin, Brown is an author who is interested in exploring the consequences of his protagonist’s actions. Revolution doesn’t come without a price and no one can stay a hero forever.”
