Summary: Mare Barrow lives in a world divided into very distinct classes. The common people (peasants and soldiers) are called Reds. They are normal people; no special abilities; red blood. The upper classes, including the high houses, generals, and king, are Silvers. They have special abilities just as being able to manipulate water, fire, light, metal, read thoughts, super human strength, etc... The Silvers believe themselves to be special and rule over the Reds with cruelty. However, in front of the entire Silver upper class Mare Barrow discovers that she can manipulate lightening. She is more powerful than the Silvers. They force her to live a lie and say that she is a long lost Silver, raised by Reds. A rebellion is brewing within the Reds called the Scarlett Guard. Mare finds herself living in to two words with the attention of two Princes. She learns the hard way that "Anyone can betray anyone." The prince that she is betrothed to double crosses her and his brother taking over the kingdom and tries to kill them. They escape with the help of the Scarlett Guard, but vow to take him down.
