Light Bringer

Born deep beneath the surface of Mars, Darrow has now led an army across interplanetary space in an epic war for freedom and liberty. But all wars, even a war of righteous revolution, leave the dead and disheartened scattered in their wake. In this novel, the boy born in a mineshaft has arisen to a warlord’s rank, leading to years of tumult and pain. Darrow and his companions—and his enemies—are somehow still in the fight. Wounded and weary, there is nothing ahead but more trials. But trials, Darrow has faced before. The internal conflict he feels is mirrored in the war-torn solar system, with countless lives spent in the pursuit of better worlds for all. But the corrupt color-ranked society that sparked the greatest revolution in human history has not been fully wiped out. Is such a thing even possible? Is it even desirable? Battles with swords and starships, political machinations with unknowable intentions, and the resilience of the human heart are all mixed together in a cauldron that will not be stirred down.
