Red Rising

Darrow is a red, the lowest caste in a color-coded society. He works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed: humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet—but Darrow and his people are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies… even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.
