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. 

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...

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.

The perfect addition to the number one New York Times best-selling Red Queen series, Broken Throne features three brand-new novellas, alongside two previously published novellas, Steel Scars and Queen Song. Fans will be delighted to catch up with beloved characters after the drama of War Storm and be excited to hear from brand-new voices as well. This stunning collection is not to be missed.

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.

A strange darkness is growing in the Ward. Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea. Fate knocks on her door, in the form of a mythical immortal and a lethal assassin, who tell Corayne that she is the last of an ancient lineage—with the power to save the world from destruction.

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.

A divided world must rally, an unstoppable enemy must be defeated, and the fate of the world rests on a blade's edge. Andry, a former squire, fights for hope amid blood and chaos. Dom, a grieving immortal, strives to fulfill a broken oath. Sorasa, an outcast assassin, faces her past when it returns with sharpened teeth. Valtik, an old sorceress, summons a mighty power. And Corayne, a pirate's daughter with an ancient magic in her blood, steps closer to becoming the hero she's destined to be.

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.

UNA EXTRAÑA OSCURIDAD crece en Allward. Incluso Corayne an-Amarat puede sentirlo, confinada en su pueblo al borde del mar. Para confirmarlo, un mítico inmortal y una implacable asesina aparecen inesperadamente y revelan a Corayne que es la última descendiente de un antiguo linaje con el poder de salvar el mundo de la destrucción.

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.

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.

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 Reds, deren Aufgabe es ist, der Silver-Elite zu dienen - denn die besitzen übernatürliche Kräfte, auf die sich ihre Herrschaft gründet. Um einem Freund zu helfen, schleust Mare sich als Dienstmädchen in die Sommerresidenz des Königs ein. Und dort geschieht etwas Unerwartetes: Als sie bei einem Fest in Gefahr gerät, zeigt sich vor den Augen des versammelten Silver-Adels, dass auch sie eine besondere Fähigkeit besitzt - obwohl ihr Blut rot ist!

Mare Berrens, met haar rode bloed en de macht om bliksem te beheersen, is een gevaarlijk wapen in de ogen van het koninklijk hof. Op de vlucht voor Maven, nu een wraakzuchtige koning, zoekt Mare naar anderen met dezelfde krachten, om samen de tirannie van Maven te breken. Maar het gevaar loert om elke hoek. Mare loopt bovendien het risico zelf het monster te worden dat ze probeert te verslaan. Zal haar opstand slagen, of zal ze bezwijken onder de druk van verraad en de levens die op het spel staan?

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 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?
