Marked by Blood

In a world ruled by blood, power is not taken; it is inherited.

Every person carries a Virean signature, a mark of their strength, their lineage and their worth.

At the Veyron Academy, the empire's most powerful heirs are trained, watched and controlled. For some, it is a place of opportunity. For others, it is a cage.

Kael Virek has spent his life believing the truth, that his father was executed for trying to expose a corrupt system.

Aurelia Valen has spent hers hiding in plain sight, unaware that her bloodline ties her to a secret power enough to shake the empire itself.

When their paths collide, neither realises the truth they're standing on.

And when the youngest Virek is taken, everything begins to unravel.

Because some bloodlines are not meant to be controlled.

They are meant to break the system.
