Title: BEYOND THE RED
Author: Ava Jae
Release Date: March 1, 2016
Pages: 360
Publisher: Sky Pony Press
Formats: Hardcover, eBook
Alien queen Kora has a problem as vast as the endless crimson deserts. She’s the first female ruler of her territory in generations, but her people are rioting and call for her violent younger twin brother to take the throne. Despite assassination attempts, a mounting uprising of nomadic human rebels, and pressure to find a mate to help her rule, she’s determined to protect her people from her brother’s would-be tyrannical rule.
Eros is a rebel soldier hated by aliens and human alike for being a half-blood. Yet that doesn’t stop him from defending his people, at least until Kora’s soldiers raze his camp and take him captive. He’s given an ultimatum: be an enslaved bodyguard to Kora, or be executed for his true identity—a secret kept even from him.
When Kora and Eros are framed for the attempted assassination of her betrothed, they flee. Their only chance of survival is to turn themselves in to the high court, where revealing Eros’s secret could mean a swift public execution. But when they uncover a violent plot to end the human insurgency, they must find a way to work together to prevent genocide.
Now on to the playlist!
I very heavily associate Imagine Dragons’s music with Beyond the Red, largely because I endlessly replayed their first album while I was first drafting. Their music is really atmospheric and moody, which was perfect for first drafting as it let me easily slip into the right headspace for Eros and Kora’s story. Since then, they’ve come out with even more music, so putting together a playlist with their music, new and old, to fit Beyond the Red was a really fun exercise.
Without further ado, here’s the (Imagine Dragons) playlist for Beyond the Red:
“Radioactive”
“Demons”
“I’m So Sorry”
“Bleeding Out”
“Gold”
