The Words On Her Arm

In the world of the Concordance, love isn't a choice-it's a system. The soulmate bond is sacred, enforced by law, and anyone who dares to reject fate risks disappearing into a Harmony Center for "correction."

Pandora Cane has spent her whole life dreading the mark curling around her skin-the words that tie her to a stranger she's never met. She's seen what happens when fate gives love only to rip it away. She's seen how the Concordance controls everything: who you love, where you live, who you become.

And she refuses to let them decide for her.

But when her Attunement process sends her on a journey to find her soulmate, Pandora's path takes an unexpected turn-straight into the underground world of the Markless, those born without soulmarks, those the Concordance deems broken. A world of defectors, rebels, and secrets that shouldn't exist. A world that might hold the truth about her father's death.

As the Concordance tightens its grip, as Sentinels hunt those who dare defy their design, Pandora is faced with a choice: follow the path written for her, or burn the system to the ground.

But fate doesn't like being ignored.
And neither does the Concordance.
