ALL WILL BURN . . .
Mare 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.
Maven is a king, continuing to weave his web in an attempt to maintain control over his country - and his prisoner.
But while Mare remains trapped in the palace, the remnants of the rebellion are organising and expanding. As they prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows, Cal - the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare''s heart - will stop at nothing to bring her back.

Trade Review
I finished this book over the weekend, and all I can say is that I wish I read it slower, because the wait for the next book is going to be painful. -- Planet Print blog
It's high adrenaline stuff...the double-crossing and duplicity is the real loop-the-loop, awesome roller-coaster star attraction. * Sci-Fi Now *
All the characters are great, and the relationships that Victoria Aveyard builds and breaks between them will have you feeling all the emotions, there is a great mix of action and contemplation that works so terrifically well. * Liz Loves Books *
Aveyard weaves a compelling new world, and Mare and the two men in her life evolve intriguingly as class tension rises. Revolution supersedes romance, setting the stage for action-packed surprises. An inventive, character-driven twist breathes new life into tired fantasy trends. * KIRKUS *
'Red Queen is a clever blend of The Hunger Games, The Selection, Graceling and Divergent.' * STARBURST *
"A whirlwind of betrayal and plot twists." * SCI-FI NOW *
"It's slick, it's interesting and ... gripping." * SFX *
All hail Victoria Aveyard - the new Queen of dystopian fiction. * THE GUARDIAN CHILDRENS BOOKS *
