BOOK 2 OF THE MARKED DUOLOGY She opened the gate. He plans to crown himself through it. Marked by the Goddess of Blood, Syerin Cayde thought unlocking the ancient gate would set the world free. Instead, it tore the fabric between realms, unleashing shadows, stirring gods-and waking Varethin. Once ruler of Tenebris, Varethin is no Origin Lord. He's a false god with a stolen throne, and now, he wants more: to shatter the divine order and replace it with one of his own. To do it, he needs Syerin's mark. Her blood. Her death. But Syerin is no longer just the key. She's becoming something else entirely. To stop him, she must reunite the broken gods, close the gate she tore open, and confront the power rising inside her. But when the only person who truly understands her darkness-Riven Knox, marked by the God of Death-comes back into her life, the lines between love and destruction begin to blur. The gods are watching. Varethin is rising. And this time, divinity may not survive her.

BOOK 1 OF THE MARKED DUOLOGY Syerin Cayde has spent her life in the shadows, a deadly assassin who knows how to survive in a world that shows no mercy. But everything changes when a cursed mark - the Bloodmark - burns itself into her skin during a mission gone wrong. It's a symbol of power, of destiny, and of death - a mark that hasn't been seen in centuries. A curse that if found by anyone would end with her death. There have been legends, rumours, that the Bloodmark was the mark of the Goddess of Blood and if one bear the mark, they would have one of the god's power. However, it is also said that the power is enough to make one explode, die. Now hunted by forces she doesn't understand, Syerin is dragged to Ironspire, a fortress where the Ascension Trials unfolds. The prize? The crown of Velthar - and unimaginable power. The cost? Everything. Forced into a deadly competition alongside warriors, heirs, and monsters, Syerin must fight to keep her secret hidden. But as the mark begins to awaken, whispering of the ancient gods imprisoned beneath Ironspire, Syerin realises the tournament is a game far more dangerous than anyone knows. And then there's the matter of the Knox Brothers. Three brothers. The royals. The heirs to the throne. Drawn to them in a way, Syerin can't understand, will the trials end her? Or will love? Allies become enemies, love and betrayal blur into one, and the mark's power begins to consume her. To survive, Syerin must decide: Will she embrace the curse that could save Velthar or destroy it?
