The Ascendant Chronicles: The Marked One

"Careful, little star," he murmured, his breath ghosting against her ear. "The moment you shine too bright, every monster in this place will see you."

"Then let them," she whispered. "I was never meant to hide."

Four Houses rule Erevan Academy.
Four heirs who own every shadow, secret, and soul within its walls.
And now-they all want her.

Rowan Blackwell never asked to be special. She just wanted to survive the year unnoticed. But when the academy's ancient wards flare at her touch and a glowing mark burns across her skin, she becomes the center of a storm older than the realm itself.

Draven Vale - the fae prince born of darkness.
Jax Wilder - the shapeshifter with a grin sharp enough to cut.
Theo Kael - the angel-blood who swore he'd never fall.
Malik D'Argent - the vampire lord who already has.

Some want to protect her.
Some want to claim her.
And one might destroy her before the others ever get the chance.

Because the mark on Rowan's skin isn't a symbol of belonging......it's a warning.
And when it finally awakens, the world will remember her name.
The Marked One.
The Ascendant.
The girl who was never meant to kneel.
