They have been captured for a marking they wish not to have - an Outcast mark. It's a mark that they're being sent away for - into the barren lands beyond the safety of Elseriyel. Finn Casters is convinced that his run of bad luck is over. He believes only so many bad things can happen to a person, or at least, the good person he seems to think he is. Or, could the supposed tale of the Casters curse finally be coming to the surface for his generation? Cora Maydeen-Grey has had her worst fears confirmed. A black-as-night marking on her right hip appears as if from nowhere, and she is shipped off, left to fend for herself. She's not prepared - no training, no mental preparation, nothing. And outside the safety of the Elseriyelian cities, preparation is the key to life. When the two are thrown together, they think they've been given a second chance - another chance to live, another life to lead. To them, it's a gift. But, they could be very, very wrong.

BOOK 1 OF THE MARKED DUOLOGY - 2025 WATTY'S SHORTLIST 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. The oldest one in particular. She knows something is off about him. That there is something coursing in his veins that isn't just blood. Drawn to him in a way, Syerin can't understand, will the trials be her end? Or will the war that she fights against her feelings do it for her? 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?
