As
a Marked One doomed by bad genes to die
early, Edel has a limited amount of time to
make her mark on stage as a professional
dancer and pay off her student loans. But
first she has to graduate from the Academy
and be chosen to join a company. To ensure
she achieves this dream, she's worked every
day for the past five years training for
this one goal.
But
all her hard work and dreams are threatened,
along with her very freedom and her life, as
family and friends reveal shattering secrets
and the truth behind years of lies meant to
keep her safe. Now with the dark truth
revealed, Edel not only knows who she really
is, but she also learns about a secret
society of men and exactly what they do to
broken dancers who can't repay their student
loans through dancing anymore. Including her
and her best friend...
For twelve years, Jayce has faithfully
served his country overseas. But an
explosion caused by friendly fire leads him
to turn away from the soldier life. Now all
he wants to do is return home and find some
peace. But all hope for peace is wiped out
in an instant when his father takes him to a
special gathering by the local members of a
nationwide secret society who use their
political power for anything but good.
Forced to choose between an easy life or
going on the run and living a life in
hiding, Jayce finds himself helping a girl
he's rapidly falling in love with, and
questioning everything he thought he knew...
