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)

I crash into the ground, my butt hitting it first. The spinning is gone, and I blink at my new surroundings.


It's dark here, with dead-looking trees all over the place. There's space between them, almost like some kind of fruit orchard.


These trees definitely don't grow fruit, though. They look incapable of growing anything.


Getting to my feet, I take a shaky breath. Damon was right. His ritual worked.


That or it just killed me, and I'm walking around the afterlife, unable to return to Earth.


Slowly, I creep through the trees, following the path of least resistance. A light fog covers the ground, and it's beautiful in a strange, ominous kind of way.


Something moves out of the corner of my eye, and I whirl around. There's nothing there, though.


My heart races. I swear I saw something.


Maybe I shouldn't be walking around this place, calling out his name, drawing attention to myself.
