Iron Gold / Brown, Pierce

Darrow and the Rising battle against the remaining Gold loyalist forces in order to abolish the color-coded caste system of the Society for good, but come up against new foes that threaten their success. Darrow takes one last mission in hopes of saving everyone, and finds himself connected to a young Red refugee girl, an ex-soldier, and Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile to the Sovereign.

Ten years after the events of Morning Star, Darrow and the Rising are battling the remaining Gold loyalist forces and are closer than ever to abolishing the color-coded caste system of Society for good. But new foes will emerge from the shadows to threaten the imperfect victory Darrow and his friends have earned.
