Trimarked

2020

“Never forget, little hybrid, the Fae are the reason you are alive. They can change their minds.” In Trifecta, a city sealed beneath a magical Veil, humans, Fae, and Witches live in fragile peace, bound by one truth: Ember Lee, the Trimarked Child, is dangerous. Marked with Fae Ink to contain her unknown powers, Ember has learned to keep her head down, hidden from those who see her as a threat. Nicu, her reluctant guardian, watches her from a distance, stepping in only when her life is on the line, believing separation from the Fae will keep the peace. But when a deadly encounter awakens a power within Ember that defies the magic meant to contain her, her secret—and her life—are at risk. She must now choose: embrace her strength, or let others decide her fate. Will Ember defy her fate, or be consumed by it? Perfect for readers who enjoy coming-of-age fantasy books with forbidden magic powers and a strong female main character. In Trimarked, Ember Lee’s journey is one of self-discovery, survival, and choosing her own path in a world where magic is feared and controlled. With tattoo magic binding her powers, Ember’s story will resonate with fans of fantasy found family and tales of fate versus free will fantasy. If you love dark coming-of-age stories and urban fantasy with hidden cities where every choice can alter destiny, dive into the Trimarked Series today.

Afflicted

2022

For the Trimarked girl, hope was always a risk. It’s been five weeks since Nicu saved Ember from the Veil, but her powers have only grown, becoming harder to ignore. Where she once accidentally manipulated the magical barrier around Trifecta, she now wields control, her secrets kept only by Nicu’s tenuous loyalty. Her powers, if exposed, could bring wrath from humans, Witches, and Fae alike. But the arrival of a ruthless Witch Queen forces Ember to risk everything. This Queen seeks control over magic users’ minds and bodies, and Ember’s powers may be the only defense her few friends have left. Ember’s choice to protect them could expose her to those who fear her most—and even Nicu’s promises may not be enough to shield her this time. Will Ember embrace her strength to defy the Queen, or lose everything to keep her powers hidden? Scroll up and continue the Trimarked journey with Afflicted today! Perfect for readers captivated by coming-of-age books, forbidden magic, and a strong female main character.
