Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling 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 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.

Discover more wonders in the world of Red Queen with Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, a companion novel with stories from fan favorites and new voices, featuring never-before-seen maps, flags, bonus scenes, journal entries, and much more exclusive content!

    When I walked into school I had 2 copies of this same book to let my friends borrow and let’s just say when I walked out I had literally 12 kids beging me to let them borrow the book next. The seres is a work of art!

    Red Queen is the literal G.O.A.T of books! It is full of twists, each and every one so obvious yet able to slip under you and surprise you at the same time. This book is a prodigy. You must read it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

    It was well written. I wish there was more dialogue that made the relationships stronger vs so much description about everything else. It has a very hunger games vibe. Straight down to the dome, love interest in the past and now present, fighting, the capital. There’s are to many similarities to ignore.
  • got me back into reading

    This is EXACTLY what every lover of fantasy and sci-fi has been searching for. An intoxicating blend of magic, betrayal, hope and romance. All culminating into a page turner with so many twists & turns you’ll need GPS to guess what happens next. Every chapter leaves you breathless and longing for more!

    It was very interesting and i finished in two days. I loved the twists at the ends and I liked Mare as a character. This book angered me in a good way that engaged me more.
