Looking for something similar to The Graceling, The Selection, or The Winner's Curse? This is the book for you! It's a classic conflict of the haves and the haves-nots, where one of the haves-nots has become royalty. There is fantasy, a love triange (or perhaps love square), a war, and a fight for human equality.
Mare Barrow is a thief where in her family she is the shadow following the flame. A chance encounter with a mysterious stranger lands her a position at court where it is the Reds versus the Silvers (the haves versus the haves-not) and everything changes. She becomes betrothed to a prince, but does she really love him or is there someone else in her heart? If you're looking for a fantasy young adult with excellent world building and a shocking plot twist, you will be thoroughly satisfied with Victoria Aveyward's debut novel, Red Queen
