About this item
by Sarah Fenton Collins (Author), Suzanne Johnson (Illustrator)
Born to rule and unburdened by conscience, Queen Violetta of the House of Ryan ascends the throne with a singular vision: absolute control. Her reign begins not with war, but with Pairing Day, the sacred ritual meant to bind hearts and futures.
What should be a celebration becomes a reckoning. Lovers are torn apart. Unwanted unions are forged. Loyalties fracture as four Pairings are reshaped by the Queen's will, igniting desire, resentment, and rebellion across the realm.
As Violet Coats rally behind the crown and Crimson Coats dare to resist, the kingdom edges toward fracture. And the greatest threat to Violetta's rule may be the one who knows her best-her twin brother, Prince Ansel, forced to choose between blood and conscience.
A Coat of Crimson or Violet, Book I of the Pairings Duology, lays the foundation for a world where power is ritualized, love is weaponized, and every choice carries a cost. The storm has only just begun.
