Aveyard weaves a compelling new world of action-packed surprises… inventive, character-driven.
A world split by blood — until one girl breaks the rules of it.
Mare Barrow is a Red, born to serve the Silver-blooded elite and their superhuman gifts. But when a twist of fate reveals a deadly power of her own, the crown hides her as a lost Silver princess rather than admit she’s impossible. Trapped in a court built on lies, Mare risks everything to fuel a growing rebellion — even as her heart pulls her toward the very people she should be fighting.
Across four volumes, alliances shatter, crowns change hands, and Mare is pushed to the edge of becoming the monster she’s sworn to destroy. Betrayal, war, and an impossible love triangle collide as Reds and newbloods rise against the Silver kingdoms in a fight for the throne — and for what’s left of Mare’s soul.
Morally grey characters. Merciless betrayal. A revolution that burns to the very end.
