    About this ebook

    For all of written history, on the day of Da Un Marcu, fifty boys and girls across the three kingdoms are marked. They become a class apart from society. Taken to join their brothers and sisters, the Chisanta, they enter a culture of knowledge-keepers, martial artists, and possessors of strange and wonderful abilities.

    When Yarrow discovers himself marked, he feels lost and lonely; until he meets Bray, a spirited and curious girl with whom he feels uncommonly connected. As the two of them become familiar with their new lives, unaccountable events unsettle the peace. A mysterious murder leaves the Chisanta in confusion. Odder still, one of the fifty children never arrives. In the years that follow, more and more children of the Chisanta go missing.

    Ten years later, the devastating truth comes to light. The death of a young marked girl is uncovered. Yarrow and Bray—separated for a decade and grown apart—are thrust back together to investigate the crime. Can they overcome their differences to save the fate of their kind and the peace of the nation?

      This is an extremely well-crafted novel that's tame enough for younger readers, but mature enough for adults. While many parts of the background aren't fully explained, the explanations aren't necessary for the story, and their lack doesn't interfere with immersion in the world that the author has created. If there were any errors in editing or proofing, I didn't notice a single one; it's polished, and as good in that respect as any traditionally published novel. Viewpoint characters had tremendous depth, clues to the mysteries were handled well, giving us just enough time to figure them out (if we can), and cheer when the characters did as well. All of this was accomplished without a dragon or unicorn in sight - a very realistic, gritty world where magic may not always be subtle, but is also not common. Definitely recommended!
    • 5/5
      This book was very well paced, and the character development was good, which is very important in good writing. I thought that the story was excellent, and it held my attention very well. Yarrow and his friends' adventures kept me guessing until the very end! I think a lot of fantasy/scifi fans who enjoyed Hunger Games would enjoy this one as well!
