After graduating with a BFA in Screenwriting from the University of Southern California, Victoria Aveyard decided to try her hand at writing a novel. Her debut was the fantasy adventure for teens, Red Queen. The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series, Glass Sword, (HarperTeen) escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they’ve always known—and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul. USA Today writes, “A sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel. It’s exhilarating. Compelling. Action-packed. Unputdownable.”
