International bestselling author Mark Lawrence continues the bold new world of dark fantasy he created in the Broken Empire trilogy with the first book of the Red Queen`s War...

For all her reign the Red Queen has fought the long war, contested in secret, against the powers that stand behind nations, for higher stakes than land or gold. Her greatest weapon is The Silent Sister—unseen by most and unspoken of by all.

The Red Queen’s grandson, Prince Jalan Kendeth—drinker, gambler, seducer of women—is one who can see The Silent Sister. Content with his role as a minor royal, Jal pretends that the hideous crone is not there. But war with the undead is coming, and the Red Queen has called on her family to defend the realm. Jal thinks that nothing that will affect him. He`s wrong...

After escaping a death trap set by the Silent Sister, Jal finds his fate magically intertwined with a fierce Norse warrior. As the two undertake a journey to undo the spell, encountering grave dangers, willing women, and an upstart prince named Jorg Ancrath along the way, Jalan gradually catches a glimmer of the truth: he and the Norseman are but pieces in a game—and the Red Queen controls the board.

Tokom čitave svoje vladavine Crvena Kraljica se borila u dugom ratu, vodeći u tajnosti bitke protiv sila koje se kriju iza prestola i država, a ciljevi su joj bili nešto više od osvajanja zemalja i zadobijanja zlata. Njeno najveće oružje bila je Mučaljiva Sestra – većini nevidljiva, o kojoj skoro niko i ne priča.

Unuk Crvene Kraljice, princ Džalan Kendet – pijanac, kockar i zavodnik – jedan je od onih koji mogu da vide Mučaljivu Sestru. Zadovoljan svojom ulogom nebitnog člana kraljevske porodice, Džal se pretvara da njegova grozna babuskera ne postoji. Ali rat protiv neupokojenih sve je bliže i Crvena Kraljica poziva svoju porodicu da brani državu. Džalan misli da to neće imati nikakvog uticaja na njegov život. Ali greši...

Pobegavši iz smrtonosne klopke koju je postavila Mučaljiva Sestra, Džalanova sudbina biva magijski isprepletena sa sudbinom opakog Snorija ver Snagsona, severnjačkog ratnika. Njih dvojica polaze na putešestvije kako bi raskinuli te čini, usput se hvatajući ukoštac s kobnim opasnostima, lakim ženama i skorojevićkim kraljevićem po imenu Džorg Ankrat. Džalan s vremenom uviđa tračak istine: on i Severnjak su samo pioni – a Crvena Kraljica vlada tablom.
