The Marked

Every year, 50 children are marked. They join a superhuman society of scholars and martial artists. But this year, only 49 are found. As time passes, more and more children disappear. Yarrow and Bray meet upon their marking and feel uniquely connected. However, a decade long separation renders them rivals. Can they overcome their differences to unravel the mystery that threatens their kind?

Book 2 in the Marked Series: With his ability to charm and persuade, Quade Asher holds the entire nation enthralled. Those who resist are labeled defectors and are widely hunted. Bray, Yarrow, and Ko-Jin must seek to thwart the Elevated without being discovered. But when Quade threatens to commit his worst atrocity yet, they all must come out of hiding to defy their enemy face-to-face.

Tragedy was averted, but Quade Asher escaped. Now, our heroes must prepare for the conflict to come. Ko-Jin trains a new army, Peer guides the Chisanta, and Vendra seeks revenge. Bray goes in search of Yarrow, but when she finds him she discovers the painful truth. All the while, Quade commits himself to a new passion: making his enemies suffer.

Sung Ko-Jin will become a man renowned for his prowess in the martial arts. At sixteen years of age, however, he’s merely an awkward youth with clumsy feet and a first crush. Taken to a distant land to learn the sword from the world’s greatest master, Ko-Jin quickly discovers that his exceptional physical abilities will not lessen the rigors of his training, nor shield him from the world beyond.
