Overview

Darrow, a former red miner transformed into a gold, awakens in a dark cell after nine months of solitary confinement and torture, his spirit broken but his resolve unyielding.

As he reunites with his family and allies, Darrow learns of the civil war among the Golds and the Jackal's control over the navy, which has decimated the rebellion's forces.
