The Red Queen - In Norta, society divides not on race, gender or orientation, but on the color of your blood. The Reds, normal humans, struggle to survive in the shadow of the Silvers, superhumans with terrifying abilities that allow them to rule the world. But when Red thief Mare Barrow discovers impossible abilities of her own, she's thrown into the Silver world where everything is a threat and anyone can betray anyone.


"We learned about the world before ours, about the angels and gods that lived in the sky, ruling the earth with kind and loving hands. Some say those are just stories, but I don’t believe that. The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind." 

"The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain."

"In the stories, the old fairy tales, a hero comes. They crawl out of the darkness, somehow still shining, somehow still untouched by the dirt and the blood, and they save us. But all my heroes are gone or dead. No one is coming for me."


Coming Soon

Book 2 in the Red Queen series is currently in the works, along with several pet projects taking shape.

  1. I love your book. I read it as an unbound galley a few months ago, and I think you are a magician.

  4. I am loving The Red Queen! But I'd like to know if you have compiled a glossary of terms for the book? Something that perhaps give definitions to all the different types of silvers?

  5. As someone who also grew up with her nose stuck in a book, I just have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Red Queen. Well done. The politics! The puzzle of trust among the characters! The magical abilities and wonder of otherworldliness! The love triangle – more like a square, really! I picked it up in my hometown bookstore this past Saturday, cracked open the cover on Sunday evening, and I was turning the final page by Monday night/Tuesday dawn. I couldn’t put it down, and it stuck with me – is still with me – long after I had to pause in a forced effort to do more menial things…ya know, like go to work, walk my dog, talk to regular folk, or make dinner. My book hangover just isn’t going away. I longingly await the second installment.

  6. I have a hard time describing how much I loved this book. I saw the cover (fell in love), read the sleeve (I drooled), and from page one I couldn't put it down. The closer I got to the end, the more excited I got. It was a little bitter sweet, because I also never wanted it to end. Which is why when I realized there would be a sequel, I raced to the finish. I cannot wait for book two. A serious must read! Not one page out of place, every word keeps you hanging on, wanting more. The sequel just cannot come soon enough.
    Victoria, you have truly created an amazing piece of work. You have an amazing mind and imagination. I applaud and thank you for sharing this story and allowing me the honor of adding your book to my small collection of all time favorites. I wish you much success in your work, and a never ending flow of words and creativity. I look forward to reading more of your work in the time to come.

  9. I have stopped reading those types of books a few years ago. When I came across RQ I fought that it is nothing else than a sweet story for a teenagers but I was wrong. Normally I hate heroines in teen books. They are irritating, they try to be so good and everyone are manipulating them as they want. Your girl is different. She is strong and does what has to be done. I like her and of course I like your book. I'm waiting for the next parts. Best wishes from Poland.

  10. Hello Miss averyard . First I would like to congratulate you on the great book of the Red Queen . Yesterday I finished it and loved it, I fell in love with each and every one of the characters. Your way to describe it is amazing and you really has become one of my favorite writers . I'm 14 and reading is one of my favorite pastimes along with writing. I love writing books and the truth is that following read me your book I started to create dystopian societies for my new works. I 'm a real fan of his and I 'm looking forward to September to be able to read " The sword of glass " ( since being Spanish have to wait more) . I 'm sorry I wasted your time , but I needed to tell him that I want to keep writing because I love his books. Thanks for everything , I hope you continue to have wonderful ideas as he has cast so far.
    Sincerely,
    Lucía Guillén Muñoz.
