Avery Summer has no mark. No magic. No clan. In a world where power is blood-bound and fate is written in flesh, she is a ghost among the gifted—an orphan cast aside, born of disgrace and shadow. But when her hidden powers erupt in fire and ruin during a brutal academy trial, Avery is forced into the center of a prophecy she never asked for. Whispers speak of the Markless One—an omen, a weapon, a key. To what? No one agrees. Not even her. Thrown into the deadly elite of Lunaris Academy, surrounded by enemies in velvet robes and lovers with claws, Avery must survive cursed trials, ancient bloodlines, and the intoxicating pull of Kael: a lethal, moonborn heir who claims her as his fated mate—but might be the one to break her. Will she forge her own path, or become the very blade prophecy demands? In a world that fears what she is, will she bend to fate... or burn it?
