This is the first book in the Red Queen series.
The story follows Mare Barrow, a common “Red” blooded thief, as she is thrust into the worlds of the “Silvers”, high class people with silver blood and superhuman abilities, when she discovers she has powers as a Red. To cover up the fact that a Red has powers, the King and Queen of Norta give Mare a new identity as a member of a long lost Silver family and betroth her to one of the princes. What follows in an intense ride. One wrong move and Mares life, or her family's lives are at risk.
I didn’t see the ending coming until it started and I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. It was exciting, tense, and terrifying. It does have a bit of the YA love triangle cliche but honestly the romance kind of takes a backseat to everything else. This was a fantastic book and I look forward to more books by Victoria Aveyard.
