blood

An introduction to the body's circulatory system.

In a world divided by blood--those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities--seventeen-year-old Mare, a Red, 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. But Mare 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.

Mare Barrow, whose blood is red, like all common folk, but who possesses Silver-blood magical abilities, flees from the betrayal of Maven, formerly the prince and her friend. Now king, Maven becomes vindictive, vowing to put Mare and other Red-and-Silver fighters to work for his kingdom, or else be destroyed. Mare must use her abilities to protect herself and advance the cause of all who are like her, while toeing the line between being champion and monster.
