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 itself where, in front of the king and all his nobles, she discovers a
superhuman ability she didn’t know she had.
Except…her
blood is Red.
To
hide this impossibility the king forcers 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 budding Red rebellion. Her actions put into motion a deadly and
violent dance, pitting prince against prince and Mare against her own heart.

Perfection
comes at a price.
As
soon as the government passed legislation allowing humans to be genetically
engineered and sold as pets, the rich and powerful rushed to own beautiful
girls like Ella. Trained from birth to be graceful, demure, and above all,
perfect, these “family companions” enter their masters’ homes prepared to live
a life of idle luxury.
Ella
is happy with her new role as playmate for a congressman’s bubbly young
daughter, but she doesn’t expect Penn, the congressman’s handsome and
rebellious son. He’s the only person who sees beyond the perfect exterior to
the girl within. Falling for him goes against every rule she knows…and the
freedom she finds with him is intoxicating.
But
when Ella is kidnapped and thrust into the dark underworld lurking beneath her
pampered life, she’s faced with an unthinkable choice. Because the only thing
more dangerous than staying with Penn’s family is leaving…and if she’s
unsuccessful, she’ll face a fate far worse than death.
