King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard (Paperback)

Mare Barrow is a prisoner, stripped of her lightning and trapped in the heart of the palace she once sought to protect. Her powers gone, she is powerless against Maven Calore—the boy she loved, now a king whose web of lies and control threatens everything she holds dear. Every day in the Silent Stone is a test of endurance, as Mare bears the weight of betrayal, loss, and the consequences of her own choices.

Outside the palace walls, her allies—the Reds and newbloods—prepare for war. No longer able to linger in hiding, they train, organise, and strategise, determined to ignite a rebellion strong enough to challenge Maven’s rule.

Meanwhile, Cal, the exiled prince who still holds a place in Mare’s heart, works tirelessly to reach her. As old loyalties crumble and new alliances form, blood turns on blood, power clashes with power, and the line between friend and foe blurs.

In this high-stakes installment, Mare must navigate captivity, treachery, and the dangerous spark of love and revenge. The rebellion’s future rests in her hands, and Norta may burn completely before a single truth is revealed.
