Klappentext

The Reaper has come. And he's brought hell with him.

The unputdownable third book in the explosive global sensation from Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown.

Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Golds demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back.

Risking everything to breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive cutthroat rivalries, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution.

Now the time has come.

But Darrow and his comrades face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy, including some Darrow once considered friends. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied - and too glorious to surrender.
