The Midnight Mark

They told me I was sick. They lied. I was just hungry. Seventeen-year-old Skylar Vance has spent her life in the shadows of her own hometown, dismissed as the "anemic girl" who faints at the sight of blood. She's fine with being invisible—especially if it means more time with Jules, the boy next door whose smile feels like the only safe thing in her world. But one night at The Obsidian changes everything. When a back-alley deal goes wrong and monsters step out of the dark, Skylar doesn't die. She awakens. Saved by Caspian Ashthorpe, a devastatingly handsome vampire prince with a reputation for cruelty, Skylar is branded with the Midnight Mark. It's a soul-tether that claims her as Caspian's property, protecting her from the rogue vampires hunting her for her rare "Solaris" blood. Now, Skylar is caught in a lethal tug-of-war. To the vampire Council, she is a miracle to be harvested. To the secret society of Hunters—led by a boy she thought she knew, she is a monster to be eliminated. To Caspian, she is the key to a throne he never wanted. As her human life burns to the ground, Skylar must learn to harness the light in her veins before the shadows swallow her whole. In a world where love is a liability and blood is the only currency, the only thing more dangerous than her enemies is the hunger she's starting to enjoy. Dive into a pulse-pounding YA urban fantasy where the romance is slow-burn, the stakes are life-and-death, and the "Chosen One" is the most dangerous predator of all.
