Since childhood, Samira learned that to survive, she had to master cruel arts.
Between screams, belts, and tears, she was forged into a weapon - shaped by the iron hand of a father who mistook love for brutality.
Her childhood was carved away through cold lessons and merciless blows: to fail was to die, to feel was weakness.
Her existence was marked by pain.
Raised through cruel training and the icy silence of a man she could never please, Samira learned early that mistakes were fatal - and that the dagger in her hand would always be her truest ally.
But amidst all the chaos and the loss of her father, her family found a way to rise again - closer, stronger. And through that, she learned what survival truly meant.
Then Samira grew.
And with her, the fury.
The girl who once trembled in fear became the woman who does not hesitate.
When her past - and her family's - comes knocking again with promises of pain and submission, she answers the only way she knows how:
with blood, precision, and a merciless heart.
But she wasn't the only one who changed.
Alongside her, the ghost of her childhood - her brother's best friend and her most dangerous enemy, Kieran, returns after years away.
He hides secrets, twisted truths, and untold stories. One thing is certain - he's about to destroy her... or be destroyed by her.
Will love be born amid the chaos, or will it be nothing but pain?
A story carved by trauma, vivid memories, and savage redemption.
Between being and nothingness, they chose to be.
I invite you to read THE MARK OF THE BLADE and dive into this dark world - may every word strike your heart, ignite your adrenaline, and steal your focus completely.
