Meet ‘Iron Gold’
You cant just break an entire galaxy and not pick up the pieces.
The book launches a new trilogy (yes, trilogy!)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What inspired you to write a new trilogy?
And did you at least take a break after theRed Risingtrilogy ended!?
I took a meager little break, mostly to stretch my screenwriting muscles.
The book picks up 10 years later, correct?
Whats the state of the galaxy?
And the solar system is in turmoil.
How will Darrow and Mustang factor into this new story or not?
Both will be integral characters.
Theyre barely into their mid-30s, so Id wager they have a few more tricks up their sleeves.
What can you tell us about this trilogys hero and POV?
There are four heroes, if we want to use that word flexibly.
Darrow is a POV character.
You will recognize one of the others.
But two are brand new faces.
What should we make of the titleIron Gold?
What challenges did the new story arc present to you?
Its scope is huge.
Far more ambitious thanRed Rising.
They must use other means to achieve their goals.
I do miss a certain giant.
But he casts a long shadow, even from the grave.
The sins of the past arenotforgotten.
