The Mark of Chaos and Creation

Where do you draw the line between fighting for the greater good and vengeance?

Six years ago, seventeen-year-old Karalevine Ruzz watched the aliens abduct her best friend as she narrowly escaped capture herself. Now the Arianyte Empire has conquered Earth and is searching for the most powerful weapons in the galaxy: children branded with the mark of creation.

And Kara is one of them.

Kara can't let go of her rage, the memories of what the occupation took from her a wound forever left open, even as the rest of the world submits to the powerful tyrants and accepts their new way of life. She is so determined to track down her friend that she plans to abduct Arianyte's second in command. But when Kara loses control of her volatile magic, she risks becoming a slave and the very weapon the empire wants most.

To get what she wants and keep her freedom, it comes at an extreme cost. Kara must decide if she can keep her true identity hidden within Arianyte's walls as the line between justice and revenge begins to blur. Every day she risks her life. Every day she wonders if she can keep the lies going and if she's good enough to play this dangerous of a game, and every day she wonders if she'll make it out of Arianyte's clutches alive.
