Red Rising

Six of seven books, and the fourth one is a wall the author built on purpose.

Where to start with Red Rising

Publication order, with no alternatives in circulation. What this page is for is the two things that make people stop, because both of them are misunderstandings rather than faults.

  1. 1
    Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star Red Rising

    First person, one narrator, an arena school premise that invites Hunger Games comparisons, and then two books that are nothing like that. Morning Star finishes the arc properly.

  2. 2
    Iron Gold Iron Gold

    The wall. Ten years later, four points of view, and the momentum deliberately gone. If you bounce here, the thing to know is that Dark Age is the payoff.

  3. 3
    Dark Age and Light Bringer Dark Age

    The two most readers rate highest in the whole saga.

Then what? Red God is the seventh and last and has no date. Light Bringer came out in 2023, so anyone starting now should expect to wait. The graphic novels are optional in full.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
