The novel ‘Red Queen’ is about the differences between people with red and silver blood. The silvers have undergone great evolution and their silver blood grants them the ability to control or do inhuman activities. The silvers, believing they are superior then the reds -who are just human- live noble lives while the reds live in small villages, slums etc.
The royal family of the silvers priorities' silver lives over the reds, so the reds have to send out their children to fight in the war. The reds have always been looked down upon the silver, who take every moment to show the reds just how powerful they are and all the reds can do is suffer the unfair society ruled by power and greed.
An example from the book is when two silvers fight in an arena built in one of the red villages. The arena was built for different reasons but the silver chose to show their power by battling in front of the reds.
