The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains.
But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend.
Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be conqueror Lysander.
Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions.
The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves—Virginia, Cassius, Sevro—in order to defend the Republic.
So begins Darrow’s long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield.
Because Eo’s dream is still alive—and after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Once again my heart was jerked from one side to the other in this epic space opera. I wept, I felt hopeful, angry, relieved. This saga has yet to disappoint me and I can't wait for book 7.
My heart is heavy. There was no other way for this to end.
Coming from Dark Age this book was abit of a let down. I loved Dark age, with all its brutality but light bringer was softer. There are so many character moments I loved in this. But for quite a bit of the book it felt as if we were going nowhere.
There were the epic battles, one duel scene I loved but looking back on the book as a whole, the characters were stuck in places. Granted, they needed to be, but I was always waiting for more.
The beginning of Lyria storyline felt dropped, and I wondered why I followed her through it all for it to come to nothing.
I am one of the rare people who love Lysander. I find him interesting and while his story for the most part of this book was meh, by the end I was screaming at him.
The strong points of this book are the villains. I love Atlas. Volga grandad. Incredible characters.
And Cassius. Oh I loved his arc from the first book to now. He's become one of my favourites.
The ending is what is strong in this book. The whole beginning was leading up to this point and I can't wait for the next book.
A much better book than the previous one. I thought this was the last one, and then getting to the last hundred or so pages I was like "oh no this is not close to finished".
I'll read the last one.
