Book of the Month Preview: ‘Light Bringer’ by Pierce Brown
Maude Garrett has been raving about Red Rising, and our club members have loved the second book, Golden Son. Morning Star and Iron Gold have gotten mixed feelings from our community.

Howlers, are you ready to dive in with our book club?
MBC has had such wonderful discussions about this series so far. Garrett interviewed Pierce Brown, and our members gave such insightful questions.

Pierce Brown was always fascinated with storytelling from a young age. He remembered the stories his grandfather would tell him, and he would listen for hours. He would tell him stories about tricksters, backwater bandits and clever outsiders. His family moved seven times before he was eighteen, and he went to more than ten schools.
After leaving high school, he realized it was possible to be a writer. It wasn’t until one muggy summer night after high school ended that he started writing. He wrote six books in five years and received more than a hundred rejections in return. He was twenty-two and ready to give it all up. A seed was planted after he read Antigone and saw Mars all bright in the sky, a seed was planted. He took ancient Greece and added stars, spaceships, opera, Romans, twists, betrayal and blood to make Red Rising..

‘Light Bringer’ by pierce brown
Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age.
“The measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends.”—Virginia au Augustus
The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains.
But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend.
The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.
