âI live for the dream that my children will be born free,â she says. âThat they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.â
âI live for you,â I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. âThen you must live for more.â
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrowâand Reds like himâare nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanityâs overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Societyâs ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Just...wow
A wild ride that once you get on takes you on twists and turns you never expected.
It was a fantastic read.

I loved this book!!! I think it was clever and an interesting concept with hunger game vibes! I loved it and it kept me interested the entire way through. what a ride
This is the first book Iâve read in years after just stopping completely (LifeâŚ) So this will hold a certain place for me book wise. It was the little spark I needed. Like others have said there are some slower moments (mainly in the first half) but once you get through them I think itâs worth it. I did like the main character, however I found myself more drawn to characters like Sevro and Pax, wanting to know more. Iâm looking forward to the next book; to see where Darrowâs Love & Rage take him.
I also listened to the Graphic Audio while I read and that I think made all the difference. Especially hearing Eo sing âThe Song of the Reaperâ (and hearing her sister in that momentâŚ)
