Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her lethal mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal. Now a king, Maven Calore continues weaving his dead mother's web in an attempt to maintain control over his country—and his prisoner.
As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back.
When blood turns on blood, and ability on ability, there may be no one left to put out the fire—leaving Norta as Mare knows it to burn all the way down.

After that twist in the end of book two, I had to pick up
this book as soon as possible.
We see Mare in captivity and Maven’s obsession with her.
They continue to play mind games with each other. On the other hand, the Reds
and the New Bloods continue to train and strategize. Will Mare be able to free
herself from the captivity? How will she do it while the silent stone all
around her bears upon her? Will Maven ever realize what Mare keeps on trying to
do with him? And what about Cal, the silver Prince who is on the run and living
with a group of New Bloods?
There were so many questions at the beginning of this book
and they are all answered in this instalment. It was fantastic to see Mare and
Maven play their game of cat and mouse. And the level of mind games that go on
in this series is just mind-blowing. Mare really grew as a character in this
book. After being lied to by different people and her mind games with Maven, it
would have been easy for her to lose herself completely. Yet she doesn’t and
continuously fights back for what she believes. And Evangeline never stops to
amaze me. Maven is a truly interesting character – one who I wanted to hate but
couldn’t really hate because of his background and his reality.
The plot moves at a steady pace after the first few
chapters. There’s a lot happening in the book to keep the readers engrossed.
There are couple of twists that I did not anticipate happening. Overall, this
is probably the best book in the series and that is saying something since
books one and two were pretty interesting themselves.
