Aurelia lives in a world where her kind, the Marked, are hunted. Fourteen years after a tragic incident that killed her mother, and nearly her and her sister, she finds herself hiding away in the home of a great politician named Tristan. Most of the time, Aurelia ignores the call of her power and the temptation to use it. But when her sister Carena goes missing, Aurelia finds that she has to use her power to save her sister, who is being used as bait by King Fero in order to snag Aurelia. Aurelia finds herself stuck in a race against time to find Carena with an unlikely group of Marked she has to rely on in order to find her sister. Will Aurelia be able to outmanuever the King and his army and get Carena before it is too late? And what of the Marked girls that have been captured and sent to Tricine, the King's home? Aurelia discovers that even though she has hidden herself for fourteen years, the evil of the world has never hidden once, and Aurelia isn't sure if she's ready to face it.

"It all began with a story. A story one will remember. It is a story told with lies. But what is a tale without invention? I daresay it is the truth. A kingdom built on blood and lies is a kingdom broken and unalive. Yet, tis the tale that must be told. No lies, no farce, but truth from old." - BARD OF ARTIS
