Un'oscura presenza si sta facendo largo nel Regno di Allward. La percepisce persino Corayne, figlia della pirata Meliz an-Amarat, che pure è costretta dalla madre a vivere in uno sperduto e tranquillo villaggio sulla costa, mentre sogna un futuro pieno di avventure per mare. Quel che Corayne ancora non sa è che il destino sta per bussare alla sua porta. La sua esistenza, infatti, viene sconvolta il giorno in cui un Avo, creatura mitica e immortale, e un'assassina letale come poche altre al mondo, le fanno visita. I due hanno affrontato un viaggio pericoloso per trovarla e per chiederle aiuto.

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.

IL DESTINO DEL MONDO GIACE SUL FILO DI UNA LAMA. Combattendo insieme alla sua banda di improbabili compagni, Corayne sta imparando ad abbracciare l'antico potere che le scorre nelle vene e a comprendere lo straordinario potere della spada ereditata dal padre. Ma il suo viaggio è tutt'altro che concluso. L'esercito della regina Erida, infatti, sta marciando attraverso Allward spalleggiato da Taristan, che lungo il cammino apre portali su mondi da incubo radendo al suolo interi regni. Se vuole salvare il mondo che conosce, Corayne non ha altra scelta se non radunare un esercito tutto suo.

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 lie ahead for her in royal life.

This is a world divided by blood--red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of godlike superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change. That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own.

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.

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.

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.
