Bloodlines, power, and a dangerous place at court

In the world of Red Queen, blood determines both status and ability: Reds serve an elite Silver class whose members possess superhuman powers. Mare Barrow’s discovery of an ability of her own disrupts that order and draws her into the royal court under a false identity. From there, the story links personal survival with political conflict, as Mare tries to use her position to aid the Scarlet Guard while navigating royal alliances and divided loyalties. The fantasy premise brings together class hierarchy, concealed identity, rebellion, and a romantic triangle, with the court’s power games placing Mare at the intersection of each.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in dystopian fantasy and unequal societies.
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining royal court intrigue with rebellion.
  • Those looking for fantasy that includes a romantic triangle alongside political conflict.

The first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen series.

Red Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Aveyard, is a sweeping tale of power, intrigue, and betrayal, perfect for fans of Lauren Robert's Powerless and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series.

Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood--those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own.

To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard--a growing Red rebellion--even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction.

One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.
