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. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?

== I didn't like this book as much as Red Queen. It just seemed like nothing happy happened at all. I liked the recruitment of the newbloods. I loved when they had to go to Harbor City to look up the information and the chase through WhitHill Palace. With the first trap with Maven, I was real excited to see what happened and how they were going to get away. I was sooo disappointed that the author just skipped right over their escape. It seemed like the easy way out to have Mare "pass out" and wake up 4 days later and everything be accomplished without us being able to go through it with the other characters. I know everything is from Mare's point of view but I was still disappointed.
Then it happened again with the prison. The most anticipated duel of Mare and Elara and we don't even get to see it?! It felt like a "cop out". Don't get our hopes up and have another flash forward. With her return to the island, I felt so exhausted when she wanted to go after the Little Legion. I was like,"No more! Leave that to the next book." The ending of the book was a surprise and I liked it, but it just didn't flow. I liked the collar thing and the walk of shame. I do look forward to the next book.

I do admit, that the book was a little slow. But ooooooooo Maven! xoxoxo That's all I'm gonna say. ==
