About This Book
In a future where society is divided by color-coded castes, Darrow, a lowly Red, uncovers a shocking truth: the surface of Mars is already inhabited by the elite. Driven by love and a fierce desire for justice, he infiltrates the powerful Gold class's brutal academy, risking everything to challenge the oppressive system from within. His journey is a gripping battle for freedom, identity, and the fate of civilization itself.
