Mark of Fire

An epic new fantasy about an immortal evil and a warlord’s daughter, bound by an ancient prophecy only one of them can survive…Lorness Carol, coming of age in the kingdom of her warlord father, Lord Rafel, aspires to become a wizard. But she’s also unknowingly become the obsession of an avenging wizard as old as evil itself: Kragan, a wielder of epic destruction. He’s waited centuries to find and kill the female prophesied as the only human empowered to destroy him. However, dispatching the king’s assassin, Blade, to Rafel’s Keep, ends in treason. For Blade arrives not with a weapon but rather a warning for the woman he’s known and loved since he was a child. With a price on his head, Blade flees-as Carol and her family are urged away on their own desperate route of escape. Now, traversing the lawless western borderlands, Carol struggles to understand the uncanny magic she possesses and must learn to master. Though separated, Carol and Blade are still united-not only by the darkness pursuing them both but by a quest toward destiny, revenge, and the revelations of an ancient prophecy that signal the ultimate war between good and evil.
