Mark of the Outcasts #Wattys2016
In the city of Crea, everybody has a mark. Good or bad, it tells others what you've done to earn that mark. Some people earn their marks by saving people, others earn them by committing crimes. No matter who you are or where you live, you get a mark by the age of fifteen. Well, almost everyone. Roxanne Vixen is about to turn fifteen, but she has one problem. She has no mark. She's done everything that other people do to get their marks, to no avail. Worse still, if she doesn't get her mark by her birthday, she'll be sent to Curi Academy, the school for all the teens without marks. No one leaves there until they get their marks. And it could take months--even years--to get your mark. Roxanne's story of powers and fitting in with the crowd may not be what she asked for when she asked for her mark, but who knows? Maybe being Markless is better than anyone thought. |Start Date: 8/17/16| |Completion Date: 12/7/16|Complete

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.
