The Quiet Mark

The first thing Leera lost was control of her hands.

The second will be her life.

In a country where the infected are executed, Leera hides the violet glow beneath her skin and forges weapons for a regime that would gladly burn her alive.

But Leera isn't loyal.

She's selling to the enemy, and every deal brings her closer to freedom. Every lie closer to discovery.

After graduation, she's sent to the Front: three phases that will make her an official forger in her division.

It's also her only chance to escape. Alta's border is just beyond the smoke.

There's just one problem.

Her trainer is starting to notice she's better than she should be.

And the infection isn't just spreading.

It's turning her into something they can't control.
