And these things didn't just have her life on the line, innocent people would be killed and Lauren would have to choose, look out for herself, just as she always has, or risk everything, including her life to finally overcome her fear and do something to help. But when faced with traumatic memories plaguing her every thought, betrayals, death, and terror all around her, the choice wasn't that simple. Read The Marked to find out what happens.
