Rising as the hero of the Red Rebellion trilogy, Darrow is now known by many names across the planet. Some call him father. To another liberator. Again to another warlord. And there are those for Arato. However, despite everything, he feels like a young boy again as he falls with a heavy heart towards the pale blue planet in his red armor with his huge army. We are in the tenth year of the war, the thirty-second year of Darrow's life.

A decade ago, Darrow was the hero of the revolution they hoped would liberate the Society. However, instead of peace and freedom, endless war rages in the worlds. Therefore, Darrow must now embark on another desperate mission, risking everything he has fought for. He still believes he can save everyone, but will he be able to keep from turning into a hideous monster in the process?

In addition, his journey across different planets is surrounded by new characters who will change his fate forever: a red girl from a refugee camp who gets a life she never dreamed of; a broken gray ex-soldier who must steal the galaxy's greatest asset even at the cost of his life; and an outcast golden heir to the throne who wanders the stars with his mentor, mourning the world Darrow obliterated but trusting in its return.

While the Red Rebellion trilogy chronicled the end of a universe, The Years of Chaos is the first chronicle of a new beginning. New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown's new cycle is again about fall and rise, but this time, in addition to his popular hero, we can meet new characters in this epic story, which with its new excitement and memorable scenes is a worthy continuation of Darrow's struggle.
