In the kingdom of Elliscana, people are separated by the markings they bare from birth: Sight, Song and Swift, Mind, Matter and Motion. Those marked with one of the three Emblems are of the noble people that rule Elliscana, while those marked with one of the three Symbols are those who serve. Aspyn Faye finds herself stuck on a line between the two separated worlds. By her twentieth birthday, Aspyn is more than used to having no mark or ability of her own, hidden from the people of Elliscana, where it is a crime punishable by death to be abnormal. But after a noble encounter and tragic loss, Aspyn finds something completely new and unique within herself. A new power pushes Aspyn into the the protection of a Princess, the arms of a Prince and into the resistance conspiring against the crown. Can Aspyn use her power to bring balance to the kingdom or will she let it turn her into something darker than anyone could expect? In a world she can no longer trust, Aspyn can either become an unmarked saviour or an unmarked monster. Both are deadly and both are inevitable. Follow Aspyn as she changes her world, her heart and her kingdom forever.

"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along. 1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words. 2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it. 3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls. But it is more than just those three: 4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal 5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world 6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions. The story is told by a girl who always laughs. Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect? "Hands down this is the best book I've read on wattpad. I don't even know what to say. I mean... I just.... Wow." -Irxdeo This book deals with heavy topics such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, abuse, so read carefully. I want to say some of these characters and scenes in the beginning are based on real people and real events, but some are not. Hi, guys! Thanks for checking this story out. Remember be brave and kind.

Meanwhile, the human kingdom is ravaged by a disease that's killing thousands of people. Alliances grow, however, in the face of an enemy far beyond anyone's realisation, and the truth that Nerissa might be the what they need to survive... A queen of sins and rebirth.
