There will dawn a day when these hostile hours, these days of hatred and violence, seem the faintest of memories, but dark and steep and long is the road up out of hell. So do not tire, do not despair, do not abandon your brethren, and do not forget that through this darkness we and we alone carry the light of freedom. We must defend it with every cell in our bodies. If not now, when? If not us, who? - Dark Age Welcome Howlers and Pixies! Welcome to my bloodydamn challenge! I've been looking forward to this for the last month it seems and I'm excited to unfold everything for y'all....FINALLY!! This challenge, sticking with my previous challenge will pull from my all time favorite book series, The Red Rising Saga. There are 5 books out right now: Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star, Iron Gold and Dark Age out right now and to briefly explain the books, it's like Sparticus and Star Wars had a battle hardened baby together, and that baby went on to try and conquer the world as Julius Caesar. The books are fantastic. The action is absolute. And the story is engaging unlike anything I've read. Go check it out! I’m currently about a quarter of the way through with Dark Age and it’s been intense! Below will list my goals in detail and even farther down below that will list possible challenge goals I can achieve during these next 6-weeks (including Zero Week).
