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.

The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.

In the stories, the old fairy tales, a hero comes. But all my heroes are gone or dead. No one is coming for me.

“Aveyard weaves a compelling new world of action-packed surprises… inventive, character-driven.” – Kirkus Reviews

“A sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel. It’s exhilarating. Compelling. Action-packed. Unputdownable.” – USA Today

“A volatile world with a dynamic heroine.” – Booklist

“Breakneck pace and engaging characters.” –

“ [Aveyard] sets her audience up for a gaspworthy twist that reconfigures nearly every character’s role and leaves Mare with no one to trust but herself… This blend of fantasy and dystopia will be an unexpected and worthy addition to many genre fans’ reading list.” -Amazon reader

“Fascinating world building… Readers will be intrigued by a world that reflects today’s troubling issues concerning ethnic inequality, unfair distribution of wealth, pollution, warfare, political corruption, and the frightening power of the media.”

The magical system is unique. And Ms. Aveyard feeds it to the readers in drips and drabs, allowing us to firm up the rules and see the chess b
oard. But not everything is as it seems, magic and science seem to work together.

Ms. Aveyard is a brilliant writer. This is a book to read and re-read. This is a book to pass on to your friends. This is a book for YA and Adult readers. Buy it – go on, I already have the second book ordered to appear tomorrow.
