Marked: Book 1 of the Ancestral War
Book summary: Two hundred years after the Humans fell to the Draconic, it seems all hope for equality may be lost. The only light in the darkness is a prophecy handed down by an absent goddess that promises peace and prosperity following the union of a divinely chosen champion from each warring race. Now the Marked have awakened and the race is on as they must find one another, accept one another, before the High Council can eliminate the only threat to their power for good.
“If you didn't have bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.”
I doubt my dad meant those words to be even half as prophetic as they turned out to be but alas, here we are. Tucked in the arm-pit of the Adrienic where anti-human sentiments were practically legendary in their cruelty, the High Council's announcement couldn't have come at a worse time. The Marked had awakened, the champion of the Human race was out there somewhere just waiting to fulfill the prophecy and claim their throne and here I am, a Clanless Human sporting a funky birthmark on my forearm and a bad attitude.
I never would have guessed what it could mean.
But it's hard to argue with the King of the Isles, especially when he shows off his own birthmark, the mirror image of my own. Now he's talking about mates and coups, and I've got a strange new magic that I have to figure out how to control before the High Council and their loyalists show up to wipe us off the map.
Lucky?
Hell, I'm just hoping I don't blow myself up before I can figure out how to save my family.
Language: Potty mouths 3.5 trashcans out of 5
Violence: 3 sledgehammers out of 5
Spiciness: 2 chili peppers. There's some sexual tension and sexual harrassment in this story. If you're sensitive to that, this isn't the book for you.
