« J'aurais pu vivre en paix. Mes ennemis m'ont jeté dans la guerre. » Darrow n'est pas un héros. Tout ce qu'il souhaite, c'est vivre heureux. Mais les Ors, les dirigeants de la Société, en ont décidé autrement. Ils lui ont tout enlevé : sa raison d'être, ses certitudes, jusqu'à son reflet dans le miroir. Darrow n'a plus d'autre choix que de devenir comme ceux qui l'écrasent. Pour mieux les détruire. Il va être accepté au légendaire Institut, y être formé avec l'élite des Ors, dans un terrain d'entraînement grandeur nature.

Der junge Darrow lebt in einer Welt, in der die Menschheit die Erde verlassen und die Planeten erobert hat.

Doch dann erkennt er, dass er und seine Leidensgenossen von einer herrschenden Klasse ausgebeutet werden. Denn der Mars ist längst erschlossen.

Lysander au Lune, the displaced heir to the old empire, has returned to bridge the divide between the Golds of the Rim and Core. If united, their combined might may prove fatal to the fledgling Republic.

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

Finally, the time has come.

But the Rising has shattered everything: Instead of peace and freedom, it has brought endless war. Now he must risk all he has fought for on one last desperate mission.
