The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (Special Edition)

In the divided kingdom of Norta, society is separated by blood. The Silvers, who possess supernatural abilities, rule over the Reds, ordinary people who live in poverty and are forced to serve the ruling class.

Mare Barrow is a seventeen-year-old Red girl who survives by stealing, knowing that she will soon be conscripted into the military like her older brothers. With few opportunities and little hope for a better future, Mare believes she is destined to remain trapped in the same life as everyone around her.

But everything changes when she unexpectedly finds herself working in the Silver royal palace. During a public event, Mare discovers that she possesses a power of her own—a power that should be impossible for someone with Red blood.

To protect their authority, the royal family creates a dangerous lie, presenting Mare as a lost Silver princess with a remarkable ability. Suddenly, she is thrust into the world of royalty, where she must navigate court politics, a growing rebellion, and the complicated relationships between the royal brothers.

As Mare becomes increasingly involved with the Scarlet Guard, a revolutionary group fighting against Silver oppression, she realizes that her newfound power comes with a devastating price. Surrounded by people who want to control, use, or destroy her, Mare must decide how far she is willing to go to challenge a system built on inequality.

But in a world where anyone can betray anyone, the greatest danger may not be the enemies Mare knows—but the people she believes she can trust.
