"I, Red Verdine, stand before you, as the rightful heir to the throne of Veronia" I shouted. I felt the anger arose through my vains. I could not bare the thought of these arrogant people accusing me of faking my rights.
I, myself, knew that I AM a true Veronian Royal.
I looked at my now burning palms. Is that fire? i thought to myself. It can't be! Why is it not affecting my palms? I felt confused as to why my body was reacting this way.
"Guards, take this liar away from here, make sure this time she wont be able to escape!" I knew for a fact that Prince Nicholas knew who my biological parents are. He, of all people, knew that I was indeed the righful heir to the Veronian throne.
How could he betray me?!. I thought he was the one who could help me claim my throne. I guess I was wrong.
I looked up and suddenly saw Veronian guards approaching me, pointing their swords towards me like..like I was the enemy...
Something inside me felt the need to defend myself. I knew the heat i felt in my hands had meaning to them. Out of nowhere, my palms made contact with the floor. BOOM. I felt powerful. All those who were coming towards me went flying across the room. It was like a large explosion, only I wasnt affected.

Red Hunters. For 18 years, Red experienced a life of misery.
When she was only 6 years old, both her parents died. She didn't know why, all she knew was that it had something to do with the most powerful, respected people of their land, Veronian Royals.
Ever since King and Queen Verdine died the Belatrix family-a.k.a the back up rulers whenever the Verdines could not give birth to the next heir- took over the kingdom,the once peacful land became a land of slavery.
On Red's 14 birthday, she decides to find out the cause of her parents death. But, instead, Red finds out that they weren't her biological parents. And that her real parents were the original rulers of the Veronian Kingdom.
Six years ago, Aelin Riorson was believed to have died at the hands of Colonel Aetos, with her brother Xaden helplessly watching as her throat was slit. But Aelin survived - and went into hiding, assuming the alias Lillian Parker to protect herself, her brother, and the rebellion. She looks little like Xaden, with pale skin, strawberry-blonde curls, and a gentle demeanor. But her mismatched eyes - golden onyx in one, emerald green in the other - and the knife scar across her neck are the undeniable clues to her true identity.
Now, as she enters the Riders' Quadrant, Aelin must keep her past buried. She bonds with Zyphira, a dragon tied to her family's lost legacy, and her signet manifests a dangerous power: a fusion of light and shadow, like her brother's own. As Aelin grows closer to Liam, another rebel, the weight of her secrets grows heavier. But when Xaden begins to question the night she died, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel.
In a world where secrets can kill, Aelin's survival hinges on keeping her true identity hidden - but the truth may be impossible to deny.
