Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Mare knows her time is running out before she will have to leave her family and fight in the war with the Lakelanders. But she is as prepared as she can be. After all, she's got three older brothers already fighting in the war, and an injured father from his time serving. What she isn't prepared for though, is her best friend, Kilorn going to war. When he loses his apprenticeship, Kilorn is sure to be shipping out soon for the warfront - something Mare can't face. So she decides she will find a way to save him. But is the cost too much?
