Perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series, Glass Sword is the high-stakes follow up to the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen.

Mare Barrow's blood is red�??the color 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.

Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.

Fantasy. Romance. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. Mare and Cal are working with the Scarlet Guard to find powerful "new bloods" before the vengeful Maven can destroy them all. As Mare's confidence in her ability to fight Maven and his army wanes, Amanda Dolan's narration becomes more subdued, matching Mare's strained emotions but also losing the forcefulness that carried the narration of the earlier work, THE RED QUEEN. Though Mare gathers many new bloods to help bring down their tyrannical king, few of the secondary characters are given distinctive tones. Those who loved the first audiobook will stick with the second for the story, but its narration is unlikely to draw in a new audience. J.M. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine. HTML:

In this startling follow-up to her debut, Aveyard sends readers hurtling back into the world of Red Queen with a fierce battle scene, reunions with old friends, and a story arc fraught with deception and betrayal. The powerful Silvers continue their reign, but the Red rebellion is rising, led by Mare Barrow. She plans to track down other mutant "newbloods" like herself to form an army capable of defeating the crown. Collecting newbloods is dangerous work, and the death toll mounts in a race against King Maven, a manipulative man who is slaughtering the mutants in a bid to force Mare back under his control. The story exposes painful truths about real-life bias and bigotry as well as the brutal costs of war, and children are not always spared gruesome fates. At the epicenter, Mare is an exquisitely flawed heroine who at times gives into her basest desires for revenge, raising questions about her own morality and revealing striking similarities to Queen Elara, whom she so despises. A cliffhanger finale should leave fans anxiously awaiting the next installment. Ages 13â�?�?up. Agent: Suzie Townsend, New Leaf Literary & Media.

Andra boken i Röd drottning-trilogin Mare Barrows blod är rött, färgen hos vanligt folk, men hennes silverförmåga, kraften att styra blixten, har förvandlat henne till ett vapen som kungahuset försöker kontrollera. Härskaren kallar henne en bluff, men när hon flyr från Maven, prinsen vännen som bedrog henne, upptäcker Mare något häpnadsväckande: Hon är inte den enda i sitt slag. Jagad av Maven, nu en hämndlysten kung, ger sig Mare ut för att söka upp och rekrytera andra röd-och-silver-krigare till kampen mot hennes förtryckare. Men Mare inser att hon befinner sig på en livsfarlig väg, där hon riskerar att bli just det slags monster hon försöker besegra. Kommer hon att krossas under tyngden av de liv som upproret kostar? Eller har hon härdats för gott av allt svek och förräderi? Glassvärdet [Glass Sword] är den andra boken i Röd drottning-trilogin. VICTORIA AVEYARD föddes i en småstad i Massachusetts, USA. Hon hade en »plågsamt normal« uppväxt och ägnade en stor del av sin tid åt att fly till andra världar genom böcker och filmer. Numera bor hon i Los Angeles. Hennes redan på förhand hett omtalade debutroman Röd drottning [Red Queen] gick rakt in på första platsen på New York Times bestsellerlista och Universal Pictures köpte filmrättigheterna. Glassvärdet [Glass Sword] är den andra boken i Röd drottning-trilogin. Om Röd drottning #1 på New York Times bestsellerlista: »Röd drottning är en suverän början på en ny serie. Fantastiskt världsbygge, temperamentsfulla karaktärer och våghalsiga vändningar i intrigen. Jag är extremt entusiastisk inför de kommande delarna.« | The Guardian »Perfekt för den som vill ha fantasy med övernaturliga förmågor, intriger och maktspel. Nu längtar jag väldigt mycket efter fortsättningen!« | Boktycke »Victoria Aveyard väver fram en fängslande ny värld med en intrig full av överraskningar.« | Kirkus Reviews »En sprudlande fantasifull thriller, där romantik kolliderar med revolution, där makt och rättvisa duellerar. Otroligt spännande. Actionpackad. Uppslukande. Omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig.« | USA Today »Precis så bra som jag hade trott och nu längtar jag bara efter uppföljaren.« | Nilmas Bokhylla [Publit]
