Just a few months ago, I finished the third book in Pierce Brown's science fiction saga, Red Rising. I thought it would be the end of the series, existing only as a trilogy. As it turns out, a fourth book is about to come out: Iron Gold.

Well, I say "fourth in the series", but it will actually be the beginning of a new trilogy set in the same universe, starting a decade after the events of Morning Star:

They call him father, liberator, warlord, Slave King, Reaper. But he feels a boy as he falls toward the war-torn planet, his armor red, his army vast, his heart heavy. It is the tenth year of war and the thirty-third of his life.

A decade ago Darrow was the hero of the revolution he believed would break the chains of the Society. But the Rising has shattered everything: Instead of peace and freedom, it has brought endless war. Now he must risk all he has fought for on one last desperate mission. Darrow still believes he can save everyone, but can he save himself?
