Item from Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Reds who bleed red and burn silver — the impossible people whose existence proved the caste system was built on a lie.
Newbloods are the Red Queen series' revolutionary revelation: Reds who manifest Silver-level supernatural abilities despite having Red blood. Their existence destroys the caste system's fundamental claim — that Silver blood is inherently superior and that abilities are a birthright of that superiority. Mare was the first publicly known Newblood. Shade was a teleporter. Cameron is a silencer. Jon is a seer. Each discovery proved the lie was bigger than anyone thought. The Silvers hunted Newbloods — they were too dangerous to the established order to be allowed to exist freely. The Scarlet Guard recruited them. Maven hunted them. And eventually, the Nortan States recognized them as citizens with full rights. The blood-based hierarchy collapsed because the blood didn't mean what it was supposed to mean.
They look like ordinary Reds. They bleed red. They have no Silver lineage. And yet they manifest abilities — lightning, teleportation, silencing, precognition — that the Silver world said only Silver blood could produce.
