Description (in English)

"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 forces 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, putting prince against prince and Mare against her own heart."

What concern me most are the black video cameras hidden in the canopy or alleyways. There are only a few at home (...) but they're all over the market. I can just hear them humming in firm reminder: someone else is watching here.

The cameras are here as well. My skin crawls, feeling their electric gaze running over my bones. (...) Only when we pass through a monstrous set of doors does the electric sensation pass. The eyes cannot see me here.

My voice breaks when I finally speak again. 'The cameras, the cameras can see.' 'Sentinels sworn to my mother man the cameras, trust me, they aren't what we should be worrying about,' Maven says, almost tripping over his words.

I put a hand to my heart, letting myself look shocked for the cameras.

To my surprise, the screens flicker, switching from the image of Cal and me to something grainy - security footage, from all the cameras, all the electric eyes.
