"The first novel in the #1 bestselling RED QUEEN series by Victoria Aveyard is an enthralling dystopian fantasy that explores themes of power, privilege, and identity. The story is set in a world divided by blood - Red or Silver - where the Reds are commoners ruled by a Silver elite who possess supernatural abilities. Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the impoverished town of Stilts, finds herself working in the Silver Palace when she discovers that despite her red blood, she has a deadly power of her own.
Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess and betrothing her to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep could mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime. However, this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare must navigate a dangerous dance between the Reds and Silvers, princes against princes, and even her own heart.
With its gripping plot, well-developed characters, and vividly imagined world, The Red Queen is an unputdownable read that will keep you hooked until the very end."
