Synopsis

This beautiful box set includes the first two books in Victoria Aveyard's #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen series, Red Queen and Glass Sword.

Power is a dangerous game.

Mare Barrow, a lowly Red in a world of red-blooded laborers and silver-blooded elites, thought she knew what her future held. But when she learns that her red blood has been disguising a secret ability, one usually reserved only for Silvers, her life is turned upside down.

How will the Silver ruling class keep her secret hidden from the increasingly restless Red population and their Scarlet Guard revolutionaries? And how will Mare use her sudden power to change the caste system, the kingdom, and the world--forever?

Corrupt courts, unnatural abilities, and forbidden romance spark a revolution in the first two electrifying installments of Victoria Aveyard's blockbuster Red Queen series.

And don't miss Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, featuring three brand-new novellas and other exclusive content, coming in April!

About this title

Review:

PRAISE FOR RED QUEEN: "A sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel. It's exhilarating. Compelling. Action-packed. Unputdownable."--USA Today

"A volatile world with a dynamic heroine."--Booklist

"Breakneck pace and engaging characters."--School Library Journal

"[Aveyard] sets her audience up for a gaspworthy twist that reconfigures nearly every character's role and leaves Mare with no one to trust but herself... This blend of fantasy and dystopia will be an unexpected and worthy addition to many genre fans' reading list."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Fascinating world building... Readers will be intrigued by a world that reflects today's troubling issues concerning ethnic inequality, unfair distribution of wealth, pollution, warfare, political corruption, and the frightening power of the media."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

PRAISE FOR GLASS SWORD: "High-stakes excitement and sharp plot twists... make this a fast-paced, exciting read and a thrilling sequel."--Booklist

"Aveyard certainly has a flair for the dramatic, which teens will eat up. The action hits the ground running and doesn't stop until after the last page is turned."--School Library Journal

"Aveyard weaves a compelling new world of action-packed surprises... inventive, character-driven."--Kirkus Reviews
