Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control. Blue is the blood of the poor, of workers, of the resistance. Clear is the blood of the slaves. Sylah was told she would spark a revolution that would free the Empire from the red-blooded ruling classes' tyranny. Anoor has been told she's nothing by the only person who matters: her mother, the most powerful ruler in the Empire. Hassa moves through the world unseen by upper classes. As the Empire begins a set of trials of combat and skill designed to find its new leaders, the stage is set for blood to flow, power to shift, and cities to burn.
