Marked by the Shadow

When sixteen-year-old Jessica Woods stumbles across a glowing stone deep in the forest, her world begins to fracture. First come the dreams-haunting visions of cities that don't exist, cloaked figures watching from the dark, and a boy who seems to remember her before they ever met. Then comes the mark-burned into her skin, impossible to explain, and impossible to ignore.

Theodan Smith, quiet artist and notorious school loner, has seen the signs before. He's lived with the mark his entire life, trained by the Watchers-ancient beings who observe from the shadows, bound by a vow to stop what once nearly destroyed their world. And now, they fear Jessica has returned... not as an innocent, but as a catalyst for something much older.

As Jessica's powers awaken and memories from a life she never lived start to bleed through, she and Theo must uncover the truth about who she is, what she was meant to become-and whether destiny is something you can outrun, or something that will always find its way back.

But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes:
The mark is not just a curse.
It's a warning.

And not all who are marked survive.
