”Jeg lever for drømmen om, at mine børn fødes i frihed,” siger hun. ”At de kan være dem, de vil være. At de kan eje den jord, deres far gav dem.” ”Jeg lever for dig,” siger jeg sørgmodigt. Hun kysser mig på kinden. ”Du må leve for mere.” Jorden er død, og Jordens befolkning forsøger nu at gøre Mars beboelig. Darrow er minearbejder og Rød – den laveste kaste i et samfund, hvor befolkningen er delt op i farver. Ligesom de andre minearbejdere har Darrow aldrig set himlen. De arbejder hver eneste dag dybt nede i Mars’ undergrund for at skaffe det grundstof, som skal gøre overfladen beboelig for mennesker. Men en dag går det op for Darrow, at det hele er en løgn. Mars har været beboelig – og beboet – i generationer af den kaste, der kalder sig de Gyldne. På Mars’ overflade har de Gyldne i århundreder nydt livet, mens de har holdt de Røde som slaver i undergrunden. Det får Darrow til at slutte sig til en gruppe af oprørere. Tiden er inde til RØD OPSTAND.

Darrow er Rød og hører dermed til den laveste kaste i et samfund, hvor befolkningen er delt op i farver. Hele sit liv har han arbejdet som slave i minerne under Mars’ overflade. Et arbejde som ikke bare er hårdt og farligt, men som også viste sig at være bygget på en løgn. De Røde er blevet holdt nede af samfundets top – de Gyldne – i flere århundreder, og nu er revolutionen den eneste vej til frihed. Darrow slutter sig til en oprørsgruppe, giver sig ud for at være Gylden og skal nu infiltrere det Gyldne Rige indefra. Han er som et lam blandt ulve. Alligevel finder han venskab og respekt – endda kærlighed – blandt de Gyldne. Men han finder også en voldsom vrede blandt sine rivaler. Hvis Darrow skal gøre sig håb om at vinde den krig, som vil ændre menneskehedens skæbne, må han konfrontere det forræderi, han står overfor.

MORGENSTJERNEN er tredje og sidste del af fortællingen om den loyale og hårdtarbejdende Darrow, der ikke skyr nogen midler for at gøre det rigtige. Darrow ønskede intet andet end at leve i fred, men hans fjender bragte ham krig. De Gyldne forlangte hans lydighed, slog hans kone ihjel og gjorde hans folk til slaver. Men Darrow er fast besluttet på at kæmpe imod. Han har sat alt på spil for at infiltrere det Gyldne Rige. Han har overlevet kappestride blandt rigets mægtigste krigere. Han har kæmpet sig til tops i hierarkiet og ventet tålmodigt på at sætte revolutionen i gang - en revolution, som vil ødelægge hierarkiet indefra. Serien RED RISING er en fabelagtig dystopi, som fans af THE HUNGER GAMES og GAME OF THRONES vil elske at læse!
