The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.
That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.
Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.
But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.

Dystopian fantasy fiction gained a prominent multi-book narrative with the publication of the YA novel Red Queen, which quickly reached number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Author Victoria Aveyard established her literary presence through this high-concept story blending monarchical power struggles with superpowered social hierarchies.
Born and raised in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Victoria Aveyard pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in screenwriting at the University of Southern California, graduating in 2012. Shortly after completing her degree, she pitched an idea for a young adult fantasy novel to a talent management firm in Los Angeles. Between July 2012 and January 2013, she returned to Massachusetts to write the initial draft of Red Queen.

Aveyard later expanded her bibliography with the YA high fantasy Realm Breaker trilogy and currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and dog.
