　　如果我是一把劍，
　　我就是一把玻璃製成的劍，
　　現在我感覺到自己已經快要化為碎片……

　　梅兒擁有紅血人的身世、銀血人的超能力，她是肉身做成的武器、皮膚包覆的利刃。逃出馬凡設計殺她和卡爾的刑場之後，梅兒只有一個心願：殺了國王，在一個可怕的王朝開始前就結束它。

　　為此，她與赤紅衛隊聯手，四處招募和她一樣擁有不可思議能力的「新血脈」。然而新血脈的名單已落入馬凡手中，梅兒找到一個，馬凡便屠殺一雙，她被推向一個又一個艱難的選擇──她要對仇人下跪，還是眼看血流成河？為了珍貴的新血脈，可以犧牲平凡的紅血人嗎？只要是銀血人，就該死嗎？

　　同樣艱難的，是面對被放逐的王子卡爾。回想那恍如前世的溫暖夏夜，梅兒只是想扒他的錢包，到了這個寒冬，她卻已偷走他本應尊榮無限的人生。太多背叛、太多立場橫在兩人之間，卡爾手中、眼中的火焰溫暖如昔，梅兒卻只能想辦法冰封自己的真心。

　　許多紅血人仰望著她，企求她的領導；更多紅血人唾棄著她，怨她讓日子更難過；大部分的銀血人都想殺她，而她自己的雙手，不知不覺間也沾滿鮮血。逃避與仇恨侵蝕著梅兒，當赤紅衛隊逐漸壯大、整個諾他王國狼煙四起時，最混亂黑暗的卻是梅兒的內心，她彷彿步上了銀血人的後塵，一步步變成自己矢志反抗的怪物……

The #1 New York Times bestselling series
Perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series, Glass Sword is the high-stakes follow up to the #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen.
Mare Barrow's blood is red--the color of common folk--but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince--the friend--who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.
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?

And don't miss Broken Throne: A Red Queen Collection, featuring three brand-new novellas and other exclusive content, coming in April
