War Storm is the fourth and final book in the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard.

Synopsis

VICTORY COMES AT A PRICE.

Mare Barrow learned this all too well when Calā€™s betrayal nearly destroyed her. Now determined to protect her heartā€”and secure freedom for Reds and newbloods like herā€”Mare resolves to overthrow the kingdom of Norta once and for allā€¦ starting with the crown on Mavenā€™s head.

But no battle is won alone, and before the Reds may rise as one, Mare must side with the boy who broke her heart in order to defeat the boy who almost broke hers. Calā€™s powerful Silver allies, alongside Mare and the Scarlet Guard, prove a formidable force. But Maven is driven by an obsession so deep, he will stop at nothing to have Mare as his own again, even if it means demolishing everythingā€”and everyoneā€”in his path.

War is coming, and all Mare has fought for hangs in the balance. Will victory be enough to topple the Silver kingdoms? Or will the little lightning girl be forever silenced?

In the epic conclusion to Victoria Aveyardā€™s stunning series, Mare must embrace her fate and summon all her powerā€¦ for all will be tested, but not all will make it out alive.
