The Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard is a high-stakes YA fantasy set in a world divided by blood color: commoners with Red blood and elite, supernaturally gifted Silvers. The story follows Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red thief surviving in the impoverished Stilts, who unexpectedly discovers she possesses a deadly, unheard-of power of her own while working in the Silver Royal Palace. To cover up this dangerous anomaly, the King forces Mare to pose as a lost Silver princess engaged to one of his sons. Caught between the shimmering world of the Silver court and her loyalty to the underground Scarlet Guard rebellion, Mare must navigate deadly royal politics, betrayal, and war to spark a revolution for her people.
