    Question posée

    I've been listening to the red rising book series by Pierce brown. I want to start the newest book in the series, light bringer, but I don't remember what happened in the last book, which I think was titled dark age, beyond that Darrow was fighting in mercury. Please create a summary of everything I need to remember from the last book dark age to be fully caught up to listen to light bringer without spoiling anything.
