Ashmarked

In a fractured world ruled by factions and survival codes, sixteen- year- old Kaelin "Kai" Thorn is marked as a risk- a spark too volatile to be controlled. Banished with a group of outcasts to the dangerous wilds beyond the wall, she never expected to uncover ancient ruins, forbidden power, or whispers of a long- extinct legacy: the Dragonborn. But Kai bears a mark no one understands, a burn that flares with purpose. And when monstrous threats awaken and factions clash, she must decide whether she's a forgotten myth... or the fire meant to forge a new world. Torn between loyalty, survival, and the strange, infuriating Silas Dray- whose secrets are as guarded as her own- Kai steps into a truth that could ignite war. Because dragons shouldn't exist. But neither should she. A gripping YA dystopian fantasy series perfect for fans of Divergent, The Hunger Games, The 100, and Skyrim.
