 Show Gage Skidmore/Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0) Howlers rejoice, we finally have a release date for the sixth book in Pierce Brown’s Red Rising saga. The upcoming sixth entry into Darrow’s incredible story is set to release on May 2, 2023, according to multiple postings to Reddit’s dedicated page for Red Rising content. Brown announced the book’s release date during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. He’s been teasing its release for months via his assorted social media channels, and fans were absolutely glued to his various pages on July 22 as they awaited the heavily-hyped “book six news.” The announcement from Brown included news that book six will not be the last in the Red Rising saga — a seventh book will follow a few years after book six drops. The New York Times bestselling Red Rising series has boasted a passionate fanbase for years, thanks to an utterly gripping storyline, flawed and relatable characters, and an unyieldingly action-packed plot. The most recent book in the series, Dark Age, was released back in 2019, leaving fans with more than three years to wait for the conclusion of Brown’s latest trilogy. And considering how Dark Age ended, the wait has been brutal. The book left off on a painfully gipping cliffhanger, and fans have been desperate for news about book six for years now. Brown has been open about his process online, where he’s shared roadblocks and issues with his fans. More than a year ago, Brown teased a few bare details about his process, noting that he’s been hard at work, but after months of effort found himself “deep into thistles and brambles,” where he was faced with “fearsome dead eyed beasts waiting just on the other side.” He revealed, in the heartfelt Instagram post, that he “chose the wrong damn path,” and was forced to scrap upwards of 200 pages worth of work. This heavily delayed the release of book six, but fans were fully willing to accept the wait if it meant a good conclusion to the series. Thankfully, the wait helped him to find the “right and true path through to the saga’s conclusion,” a fact that fans are endlessly grateful for. We may be eager for a finale, but after the harrowing grimness of Dark Age, fans would happily welcome a slightly less torturous conclusion to the beloved series. Well, there’s good news and even more good news, Howlers! As expected, Pierce Brown delivered a big announcement today. When he teased some upcoming news, I hoped it might involve the title and maybe some information about when Book 6 might be coming, and sure enough, it did. But this news also apparently
involves a seventh book. Yes, Red Rising Book 7! Not only does Book 6 have an official title (and is expected to arrive May 2023), but according to Pierce Brown’s announcement, Book 7 is also on the way. So let’s get to the details: For those of us who couldn’t be at San Diego Comic-Con today for Pierce Brown’s panel, the Red Rising author posted this on his Instagram to reveal the titles of Red Rising Books 6 and 7: The photo shows what appears to be two temporary book covers, the first of which is titled Light Bringer and the second of which is titled Red God. Pierce Brown’s caption notes that Light Bringer will arrive in May 2023. Red God will arrive “soon after.” Sadly, I was not at SDCC so I didn’t get to attend his panel — hopefully the Howlers who did had an amazing time! — but among Howler 1’s Instagram stories was a snippet from the panel, where he says:
That the seventh book’s title should begin with “Red” seems particularly fitting, should it presumably turn out to be the actual final book in the series. Heck, just the sight of the word “Red” in that font on the temporary book cover for Red God gives me a warm sort of nostalgic glow (mixed with a myriad of flashbacks of Book 1 moments, not all of which are all that warm and glowy, but still…) Of course, we’re left to wonder and anticipate what moments these next two books will bring. Pierce Brown’s post doesn’t mention a specific date for Light Bringer‘s arrival beyond May 2023, but Penguin Random House’s page for the book currently says May 16, 2023 (and there are multiple options for places where you can pre-order it). So that may be when we can expect Book 6 to release, assuming the date sticks. In the meantime, that’s a lot of good news! And while May 2023 isn’t exactly right around the corner from now, it does give us plenty of time to revisit the first five books in the series in preparation and anticipation for Light Bringer.
