Marked by Death
Those words have taken on a terrifying new meaning for Elizabeth Key.
Tempest Griffin, also known as Phoenix Grim, has done the unthinkable. Determined to possess Liz, he has marked her with a sigil reserved for Reapers and cursed her Wyrd, locking away her powers and trapping her mind in the shadows of the past.
As Liz relives old wounds and confronts the demons that have haunted her for years, her friends and allies race against time to break the curse, remove the mark, and restore her magic. Her only hope lies in her own resilienc, and in three powerful allies: Al, a gifted seer and sorcerer; Sophie, a light witch; and Deathripper, a Grim Reaper with mysteries of his own.
Meanwhile, the Mage Community has not abandoned its obsession with Liz. They still seek to capture her and use her blood to restore their fading magic. But Liz's enemies have forgotten one crucial truth:
Liz Key's greatest strength was never her magic.
And if they choose to play with her fire, she will make them burn.
The prophets have named Liz the Chosen One, but fate has yet to reveal what she has been chosen for. Mages and Reapers alike will try to break her spirit, yet only one Reaper can touch her soul.
Sometimes it pays to have friends in low places, especially when those places lie within the Shadow Realm.
