Autor Victoria Aveyarden Paperback – 6 iun 2016 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Roșii sunt cei comuni, oamenii simpli conduși de Argintii - o elită aflată în posesia unor super-puteri dumnezeiești.
Mare Barrow este o fată Roșie de șaptesprezece ani din săracul Stilts, iar pentru ea se pare că nimic nu se va schimba.
Asta până când ajunge să muncească în Palatul de Argint. Înconjurată de oameni pe care îi urăște, Mare descoperă că în ciuda sângelui Roșu care îi curge prin vene posedă o abilitate mortală. Una care amenință să distrugă balanța puterii.
Înspăimântați de potențialul lui Mare, Argintii o declară pe aceasta o demult pierdută Prințesă Argintie acum logodită cu un Prinț Argintiu.
Orice pas greșit o poate costa moartea pe Mare care riscă și colaborează cu Garda Roșie, o grupare militantă de rezistență hotărâtă să răstoarne regimul Argintiilor.
Dar în această lume de trădări și minciuni, Mare face primii pași dintr-un dans periculor - Roșii contra Argintiilor, prinț contra prinț și Mare împotriva inimii ei...

Luminita Nicoleta Stoian a dat nota:
I loved every page of this book. It has been awhile since I've read something that I couldn't put down. It has a lot of action, it keeps you alert.
Anonim a dat nota:
I was really intrigued by this new world that is essentially playing in the future. The heroine was really sympathetic for me, though I can't help but be annoyed by the love triangle (which also has the potential to be a rectangle :)) )
Firru . a dat nota:
This was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed this crazy adventure of a book. I will say though that it did take a bit of time for me to really get into this book. I also felt the world is still a bit underdeveloped for my liking, but I'm hoping that I gain a better understanding for everything in the sequel. Other than that such an exciting read, full of twists and turns that will leave you flailing all over the place!
Descriere scurtă
Red Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Aveyard, is a sweeping tale of power, intrigue, and betrayal, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series.
Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood—those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own.
To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play 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 everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard—a growing Red rebellion—even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction.
One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.
Plus don't miss Realm Breaker! Irresistibly action-packed and full of lethal surprises, this stunning fantasy series from Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Queen series, begins where hope is lost and asks: When the heroes have fallen, who will take up the sword?

Recenzii
“Aveyard weaves a compelling new world of action-packed surprises... inventive, character-driven.” — Kirkus Reviews
“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)

Descriere
This is a world divided by blood – red or silver.
The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.
That is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.
Fearful of Mare’s potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.
But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance – Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart ...
