On Europa's frozen moon, the truth is buried six hundred meters deep — and so are the people who carry it.
Kael is nineteen, Red-born, and done believing in lies. When his wife is executed for singing a banned song, grief hardens into something more dangerous: purpose.
Recruited by an underground resistance, Kael undergoes a brutal transformation — bones restructured, skin recolored, identity erased — and infiltrates the Gold ruling class as a spy. Inside their legendary proving academy, he must become the thing that destroyed everything he loved, long enough to destroy it from within.
But the mission has a cost he didn't anticipate: the people he was sent to deceive begin to matter.
RED GOD is a story about oppression, sacrifice, and the price of revolution — about what you become when you hollow yourself out for a cause, and whether anything survives the filling.
