After losing her job just weeks before the holidays, she’s stranded in a small ski town with no money, no prospects, and an ex who’s too busy flaunting his new fiancé to even remember she exists.

Whispers of the Marked
Updated at Apr 16, 2025, 08:22
She was born without a voice. But the flame inside her was never silent. At an elite academy where power is everything, Lyra is the girl no one sees coming — mute, marked, and dangerous in ways even she doesn't yet understand. Hiding her magic is the only way to survive… until a violent ambush awakens a bond she didn’t choose and a flame the Council swore should never rise again. Now branded with a forbidden rune and tethered to Kael, the Academy’s fiercest protector, Lyra must navigate a world of secrets, politics, and prophecy — all while haunted by ancestral memories of a healer who defied the Council…and burned for it. But she isn’t alone. Rei, the shadow-born scholar with ties to a forgotten rebellion, offers her something no one else has: truth. Kael offers her loyalty, sacrifice, and something far more dangerous — the possibility of love. As her power grows and the past claws closer, Lyra must choose: Silence the flame. Or let it consume the world. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, ancient magic, and heroines who rise from the quiet.
