About this item
[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17) ][Read by Amanda Dolan] From debut author Victoria Aveyard comes a lush, vivid fantasy series where loyalty and desire can tear you apart - and the only certainty is betrayal. Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood - those with red and those with silver. Mare and her family are lowly Reds, destined to serve the Silver elite whose supernatural abilities make them nearly gods. Mare steals what she can to help her family survive, but when her best friend is conscripted into the army, she gambles everything to win his freedom. A twist of fate leads her to the royal palace, where, in front of the king and all his nobles, she discovers a power of her own - an ability she didn't know she had. Except ... her blood is Red.
