[Filipino Fantasy Novel]
Matapos ang Blood War o ang masalimuot na digmaan sa kanilang bayan, hindi makapaniwala si Ronan Ashworth na makaliligtas siya ng buhay. Nagising na lang siya isang umaga lulan ng lumang karwahe na naghatid sa kanya sa lugar kung saan siya nababagay, ang sanctuary o sagradong kublihan para sa isang tulad niya. Markado ng kakatwang tanda ang kanang pulsuhan niya at palaisipan pa rin kung saan niya iyon nakuha.
Doon, nakilala niya ang lalaking ito na tutulong, magdadamit at gagabay sa kanya, si Hugo Simoune Salazar, ang namamahala sa sagradong kublihan na pananatilihan niya pansamantala. Kapag mayroong kang marka, ang ibig sabihin ay isa ka sa mga tao na kinukupkop nito. Ang marka ay sumisimbolo sa likas na talino, natural na talento ng isang tao at tinataglay na kakaibang abilidad. Kilala iyon sa bansag na "curse" o sumpa, ngunit kinikilala iyon bilang hindi pangkaraniwang regalo o kaloob pagkasilang pa lang nila sa mundo. Tulad na lamang ng pagmanipula ng mga bagay gamit ang isip, kayang tumakbo ng isang daang beses ang bilis kumpara sa normal na kabayo, paggamit ng mga elemento o manggamot ng malalim na sugat base sa kalidad ng pamamaraan.
Labing-siyam na taong gulang na si Ronan, ngunit ipinagtataka pa rin niya kung ano'ng klase ng curse ang tinatangi niya. Ang mga tao sa kanyang paligid ay tinatawag siyang "sleeper" dahil hanggang hindi pa niya nadidiskubre ang curse niya, mananatili lang iyong tulog sa kaibuturan niya.
Ano ang magiging takbo ng buhay ni Ronan kasama ang mga taong ito? Ang mga kauri niyang posibleng magpa-unlad sa kanyang pagkatao o ikapahamak niya ang impluwensiya ng mga ito.
A rare mark. A society of strange people. A powerful gift. They are... the cursed people, where every curse lies in its mystery.

Apat na babae. Apat na sugatang kaluluwa mula sa iba't ibang sulok ng modernong mundo. Walang nakakaalam kung paano, ngunit isang mahiwagang libro ang biglang nagbuklod sa kanila. Isang librong walang pamagat. Walang pahina. Walang kwento. Ngunit sa oras na binuksan nila ito, ang kanilang mga buhay ay unti-unting naisulat... at ang mundong akala nila'y kathang-isip lamang, ay totoo pala. Sa mundo ng Ravaryn at Kestramore, dalawang haring nagpatayan dahil sa poot ang nag-iwan ng pamana sa kanilang mga anak-mga prinsipe na may dalang kapangyarihan ng hangin, lupa, tubig, at apoy. Kasama sa kanilang kapalaran ang Prinsipe ng Firesse-isang kahariang nabura sa mapa ng mundo. Ulila at walang nasasakupan, ngunit pinili ng Bathala upang maging ikaapat na haligi ng kapalaran. Ngunit sa likod ng kanilang lakas, nakatali ang isang sumpa. Kapag ang kanilang galit ay umapaw, lilitaw ang wangis ng halimaw-isang nakakatakot na anyo na maaaring pumatay ng inosente. Isang sumpa na maaari ring maging biyaya: dahil sa oras na makita sila sa anyong ito, kapalaran na ng kanilang kalaban ang kamatayan. Ngayon, ang apat na babae ay naging bahagi ng kwento ng mga prinsipe. Ang akala nila'y sila ang sumusulat ng kanilang kapalaran sa loob ng libro-ngunit ang totoo, sila mismo ang isinulat. At sa dulo ng lahat... kailangan nilang pumili: Babalik ba sila sa sariling mundo? O haharapin nila ang katotohanang maaaring sila ang susi upang iligtas-o tuluyang wasakin-ang mundong ginising nila?![BATCH (THE SPECIAL CLASS) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/239098105-256-k268609.jpg)
