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.
