About this listen

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, 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.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Very similar to Red Rising

This story was very similar to Red Rising. I enjoyed it, but it's been done before.

Loved this book!

Hard to tell between actual quotes and narrators thoughts. Other than that, LOVED this book. Hoping for a series or conclusion with the defeat of the bad guys!!!

Predictable Fun

Maybe because it's a YA novel, I guessed a few key plot points before they happened. However, the climactic action scenes at the end were completely engaging. I look forward to the rest of the series.

The narrator was good overall, but said some lines a little too whiny for my taste. I still think it's worth a listen.

Love this one but not the rest

So I do love this book but was disappointed with the rest of the series. When I first read it I was so excited to read the rest of the series but with each book I was more and more disappointed. I did like how the reader read this book though.

A cross between Hunger Games and Divergent

Great story and loved the performer. It was like a cross between the Hunger Games story and the Divergent story. Looking forward to the next one. :)
