O mundo de Mare Barrow é dividido pelo sangue: vermelho ou prateado. Mare e sua família são vermelhos: plebeus, humildes, destinados a servir uma elite prateada cujos poderes sobrenaturais os tornam quase deuses. Mare rouba o que pode para ajudar sua família a sobreviver e não tem esperanças de escapar do vilarejo miserável onde mora. Entretanto, numa reviravolta do destino, ela consegue um emprego no palácio real, onde, em frente ao rei e a toda a nobreza, descobre que tem um poder misterioso… Mas como isso seria possível, se seu sangue é vermelho?

O sangue de Mare Barrow é vermelho, da mesma cor da população comum, mas sua habilidade de controlar a eletricidade a torna tão poderosa quanto os membros da elite de sangue prateado. Depois que essa revelação foi feita em rede nacional, Mare se transformou numa arma perigosa que a corte real quer esconder e controlar. Quando finalmente consegue escapar do palácio, Mare descobre algo surpreendente: ela não era a única vermelha com poderes. Agora, enquanto foge, a garota elétrica tenta encontrar e recrutar outros sanguenovos como ela, para formar um exército contra a nobreza opressora.

Victory comes at a price. Mare Barrow learned this all too well when Cal's betrayal nearly destroyed her. Now determined to protect her heart - and secure freedom for Reds and newbloods like her - Mare resolves to overthrow the kingdom of Norta once and for all...starting with the crown on Maven's head. But no battle is won alone, and before the Reds may rise as one, Mare must side with the boy who broke her heart in order to defeat the boy who almost broke her. Cal's powerful Silver allies, alongside Mare and the Scarlet Guard, prove a formidable force.

FINO A DOVE POSSIAMO ARRIVARE PRIMA CHE LA FINE CI RAGGIUNGA? Corayne si è salvata per un soffio. Ora, senza poter contare sull'aiuto dei Compagni e della sua spada, sta andando incontro da sola a un futuro incerto. Non sarà semplice, anche perché i suoi nemici sono disposti a qualsiasi cosa pur di disfarsi di lei, ma non tutte le speranze sono perdute. La giovane, infatti, è riuscita a impossessarsi della spada di Taristan, senza la quale l'uomo non può portare a termine il suo piano di distruzione del mondo.

IL DESTINO DEL MONDO GIACE SUL FILO DI UNA LAMA. Combattendo insieme alla sua banda di improbabili compagni, Corayne sta imparando ad abbracciare l'antico potere che le scorre nelle vene e a comprendere lo straordinario potere della spada ereditata dal padre. Ma il suo viaggio è tutt'altro che concluso. L'esercito della regina Erida, infatti, sta marciando attraverso Allward spalleggiato da Taristan, che lungo il cammino apre portali su mondi da incubo radendo al suolo interi regni. Se vuole salvare il mondo che conosce, Corayne non ha altra scelta se non radunare un esercito tutto suo.

Un'oscura presenza si sta facendo largo nel Regno di Allward. La percepisce persino Corayne, figlia della pirata Meliz an-Amarat, che pure è costretta dalla madre a vivere in uno sperduto e tranquillo villaggio sulla costa, mentre sogna un futuro pieno di avventure per mare. Quel che Corayne ancora non sa è che il destino sta per bussare alla sua porta. La sua esistenza, infatti, viene sconvolta il giorno in cui un Avo, creatura mitica e immortale, e un'assassina letale come poche altre al mondo, le fanno visita. I due hanno affrontato un viaggio pericoloso per trovarla e per chiederle aiuto.

A strange darkness is growing in the Ward. A man who would burn kingdoms to the ground is raising an army unlike any seen before, bent on uprooting the foundations of the world. And only Corayne - a pirate's daughter and the last of an ancient lineage - can stop him. Alongside an unlikely group of reluctant allies, Corayne finds herself on a desperate journey to complete an impossible task, with untold magic singing in her blood and the fate of the world on her shoulders.

Ein Knappe ohne Herr, eine verstoßene Assassinin, ein trauernder Unsterblicher sowie eine uralte Magierin – sie alle stehen an der Seite einer Frau, die dazu auserkoren wurde, die Welt zu retten. Aber Corayne, die Tochter eines gefallenen Helden, ist weit davon entfernt, ihre Rolle als Retterin zu akzeptieren. Dabei ist es ihr Onkel, der das Reich Allward zu zerstören droht. Doch was Corayne nicht ahnt: Eine weit tödliche Macht ist im Begriff, Allward zu verschlingen und jeden Funken Hoffnung für immer auszulöschen. Und das wird Corayne niemals zulassen.

In der Welt, in der Mare Barrow lebt, wird alles von der Farbe des Blutes bestimmt: Es gibt Menschen mit rotem und solche mit silbernem Blut. Mares Familie gehört zu den niederen Roten, deren Aufgabe es ist, der Silber-Elite zu dienen - denn die besitzen übernatürliche Kräfte, auf die sich ihre Herrschaft gründet. Als Mare entdeckt, dass sie trotz ihres roten Blutes silberne Fähigkeiten besitzt, beginnt ein neues Leben voller Gefahren, Intrigen und Revolution.

In Coraynes Adern fließt das Blut eines Helden. Doch sie verabscheut ihre Herkunft und will nichts mit dem Vater zu tun haben, für den Heldentaten stets wichtiger waren als seine Tochter. Nun ist er tot, gefallen durch die Hand seines eigenen Bruders. Um den Untergang ihrer Heimat zu verhindern, ist sie gezwungen, das Schwert ihres Vaters zu ergreifen. Zusammen mit nur sechs Gefährten, die ebenfalls keine strahlenden Helden sind, bricht Corayne auf, um eine Armee aus Aschekriegern zu bekämpfen. Doch wie soll sie eine Dunkelheit besiegen, gegen die sogar wahre Helden machtlos waren?

The Companions are scattered and hopeless, torn from each other. After Corayne barely escapes with her life, she must forge on alone, leaving her blade broken and her allies behind her. Her only consolation: Corayne now has Taristan's sword, the only Spindleblade left in existence. Without it, he can’t rip open any more Spindles. Without it, he can’t end the world.

Two women on either side of the Silver-Red divide tell the stories no one else knows. Queen Song : Queen Coriane, first wife of King Tiberias, keeps a secret diary - how else can she ensure that no one at the palace will use her thoughts against her? Coriane recounts her heady courtship with the crown prince; the birth of a new prince, Cal; and the potentially deadly challenges that lay ahead for her in royal life.

Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal. Now a king, Maven continues weaving his web in an attempt to maintain control over his country - and his prisoner. As Mare remains trapped in the palace, the remnants of the Red Rebellion continue organizing and expanding. As they prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows, Cal, the exiled prince, will stop at nothing to bring her back.

This is a world divided by blood--red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of godlike superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a 17-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.

If there's one thing Mare Barrow knows, it's that she's different. Mare's blood is red - the colour of common folk - but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from the prince and friend who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.

The perfect addition to the number one New York Times best-selling Red Queen series, this features three brand-new novellas, two previously published novellas, Steel Scars and Queen Song, and never-before-heard bonus scenes, journal entries, and much more exclusive content.
