Morning Star by Pierce Brown
Book Description
Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, murdered his wife and enslaved his people. Risking everything, Darrow has survived, climbing up the ranks of Society’s mightiest warriors, waiting patiently to unleash revolution. Finally, the time has come.
But devotion to honour and hunger for vengeance run deep. Darrow and his comrades face powerful enemies. To win, Darrow must inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world and claim a destiny too long denied.
