By: Victoria Aveyard
Bordering between fantasy and dystopia, Red Queen centers around a young woman thrusted into a life of power and servitude. The country of Norta is segregated by the color of blood running through its inhabitants’ veins; those with red blood suffer in the slums and go without energy, food, and compassion, while the Silver Bloods live in the lap of luxury with elegant dressings, palaces, and barely lift a finger because Silvers harbor immense power. The Noble families are gifted with fantastical powers, such as; telekinesis, control of the elements, mind reading, shape shifting, and many others. When red-blooded Mare Barrow is forced into servitude by the Nortan prince, she discovers she can control lightning and electricity, something no red-blooded person should do; to prevent an uprising, the king creates a Silver façade for her to blend into the nobility. Mare’s secret identity begins to crumble when she can’t hide her heart and the color of her blood from the crown prince any longer.
