Alizarin Crimson follows seventeen-year-old Ayami Lore as red pigment rushes into her skin, involuntarily tattoos her, and enables her to manipulate the color red around her. The red takes over Aya's passionate emotions, making her volatile. It happened to the last person who could control color: Vincent van Gogh. Now it's happening to her. It doesn't take long for Aya to discover the price of wielding color is insanity. Being able to control color isn't the only secret Aya uncovers about Van Gogh. He was the last person to know the whereabouts of the Aveum--a powerful, and mysterious object. Dune, a formidable woman who can manipulate glass, threatens to kill Aya if she doesn't lead her to the Aveum. A secret book written by Van Gogh could be the key, not only to finding the Aveum but also to Aya's tenuous hold on her powers and her sanity. Aya must choose between her sanity's only hope and keeping the Aveum out of Dune's hands.
