When her father suddenly dies, Winter Grace, 17, is forced to fly across the country and attend a mysterious prep school, an ancient castle in a fog-covered island on the coast of Maine. Nothing here is what it seems, and it isn’t long before Winter, feeling a surging power for the first time, realizes that she is not who—or what—she thinks she is.

But when Winter feels an inexplicable crush for an elusive and dangerous boy at the school, she realizes a greater destiny is at play. She knows the relationship might destroy them both—yet she also knows that they can never be apart.

In MARKED, it is time for Winter to return on the epic quest back to save her school—but first, it is time for her to now sacrifice it all, and find—and save—her lost love.

Marked (Mortal, Book Four)

Alec is standing at the edge of the river, his back to us. I can see his dark hair and the broadness of his shoulders, and I feel my heart both ache and race at the same time. He's alive. He's really alive.


My heart skips a beat, and I break into a run. I don't even think about the danger I might be walking into. I just need to get to him.


"Wait!" Jack calls out behind me, but I don't stop. I'm too close.


As I approach, Alec turns around, and my relief is short-lived. His eyes are vacant and empty. Something is wrong.


"Alec!" I yell, skidding to a stop in front of him. "What happened? Are you okay?"


He doesn't answer, just stares blankly at me. I reach out to touch his arm, but he flinches away from me, his eyes darting around as if he's afraid of something.


"What's going on?" I turn to Jack, who's arrived behind me.
