Red Rising (Red Rising Saga, #1)

by Pierce Brown

“Death isn’t empty like you say it is. Emptiness is life without freedom, Darrow. Emptiness is living chained by fear, fear of loss, of death. I say we break those chains. Break the chains of fear

“In the densest places of man, humanity most easily breaks down,”

I am the spark that will set the worlds afire. I am the hammer that cracks the chains.

Steel is power. Money is power. But of all the things in all the worlds, words are power.”
