A note for parents

Red Queen is a dystopian fantasy romance aimed at teen readers, featuring themes of social inequality, rebellion, and romance alongside action sequences with moderate violence. The story explores loyalty and betrayal while depicting class conflict and a protagonist caught between two worlds, but the intense emotional stakes and some violent scenes make it better suited for mature young adults rather than younger teens.

Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood--those with red and those with silver.

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 itself, 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. To hide this impossibility, the king forces her into the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks her new position to aid the Scarlet Guard--the leaders of a Red rebellion. Her actions put into motion a deadly and violent dance, pitting prince against prince--and Mare against her own heart. 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. This description comes from the publisher.
