Book 1 in Jarah Aurel’s upcoming fantasy series!

RIEA:

There are twelve Gods and Goddesses watching over our kingdom. Twelve Gods and Goddesses who bless children with a spark of their powers upon birth, and none of them picked me. In a kingdom where our powers determine our social standing, there’s nothing worse than being unmarked; undocumented and without the protection of the laws. Most unmarked children don’t make it out of infancy alive.

I did.

Powerless and on the run for most of my life, I still managed to avoid fatal altercations for nineteen years. Until I didn’t. And then, something inexplicable happened; something forbidden and far more dangerous than being unmarked. Dark powers that shouldn’t exist burst out of me and saved my life, but by doing so, they revealed a truth that made me the most wanted fugitive in the entire kingdom. Because those dark powers? They could only have been a gift from the forbidden thirteenth god, Scotus, the god of darkness.

With the largest bounty in history pinned on me and nowhere to go, I have no choice but to accept the help of the only people in the kingdom willing to take me in. The Rebels are a group of young adults who, according to them, help out where the rulers turn a blind eye. They offer safety, more food than I’ve ever seen, and ultimately, revenge on the rulers who’ve cost me everything. More than that, they promise friendship—something I long for the most after a lifetime of being alone.

But first, I have to prove to the wary members that my new, scary powers and I are no threat to their family.
