«O Evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo, dizia, é o romance que gerou mais polémica e é a causa de ter mudado a minha residência de Lisboa para Lanzarote, em Espanha. É um livro que não projetei, porque jamais me havia passado pela cabeça escrever uma vida de Jesus, havendo tantas e sendo tão diferentes as interpretações que dessa vida se fizeram, destrutivas por vezes, ou, pelo contrário, obedecendo às imposições restritivas do dogma e da tradição. Enfim, sobre o filho de José e Maria disse-se de tudo, logo não seria necessário um livro mais, e ainda menos o que viria a escrever um ateu como eu. Simplesmente, o homem põe e a circunstância dispõe e aqui está o que me impeliu a uma tarefa cuja complexidade ainda hoje me assusta.»

Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within. Finally, the time has come. But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied—and too glorious to surrender.
