Synopsis
Estrategia. Fuerza. Amor. Traición. Ideas como libertad o igualdad murieron junto con la Tierra. Ahora, en Marte, el equilibrio se sustenta en un férreo sistema de castas representadas por colores. Para acceder a la élite de los gobernantes, los dorados deben ganarse su puesto en una contienda implacable. Pero Darrow n o es un dorado. Es un rojo, forjado en las entrañas del infierno. Afilado por el odio. Fortalecido por el amor. Para sobrevivir, debe ocultar su verdad. Sin olvidar que cada muerte, cada paso de la contienda, es por la libertad. Y con una idea fija en la mente: no convertirse en uno de ellos, pase lo que pase. En un mundo de oscuridad, un rojo amanecerá dorado.
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 spends his life willingly, knowing 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. Darrow—and Reds like him—are 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 humanity’s 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 Society’s 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.
