They say when one door closes, another one opens. Sang never believed it to be true.
Especially not when her nine loves decide they don't want her anymore; or when her father kicks her out of her home on the exact same night, handing over her mother's will and an old, dusty journal.
Sang couldn't bring herself to open her mother's journal until a handsome, mysterious stranger takes a seat next to her on a train headed for nowhere and tests her in ways she's never been tested before.

My dearest Sang,
Life is full of challenges and heartbreak. It will beat you down until you're a breath away from giving up. It's only when you're taking that last breath when you realize you are ready to fight with every inch of your soul. No matter what happens in your life, sweet girl, just keep fighting.
My biggest regret is not being there to teach you the steps of life myself, so my best hope of fulfilling this wish is by writing you this journal, hoping it will find its way to you. In these pages you will read my journey full of love and loss, and I can only hope you can take my words and hold them dear.
Now that that's out of the way, why don't we get started?
Here is the first step...

lady of the dark mark. ❞
