The Sire's Mark

Quinn thought she knew what love was.

Marcus had taught her that love meant breaking her down, piece by piece, only to pull her back together when she had nowhere else to go. He hurt her. He controlled her. And every time she thought she was finally strong enough to leave, he found another way to destroy her.

Until he went too far.

Lucy realizes her brother Killian is the only person ruthless enough to make Marcus disappear for good. She can't give in to the darkness like he can; she has to ask him for one final favor.

He agreed; in return, she has to come home.

For the first time in years, Quinn is free.

Marcus is dead—or at least that is what everyone tells her. An accident. A closed chapter. A nightmare finally buried.

Quinn returns to her family, determined to heal and rebuild the life Marcus stole from her.

Then Megan convinces her to go on a double date.

And she meets Ian.

Smart. Handsome. Patient. Kind.

Everything Marcus was not.

Ian never looks at Quinn like she's ruined. He sees the cracks, the scars, the pieces she tries so desperately to hide—and somehow, he still wants her.

For the first time, Quinn begins to believe she might actually be capable of loving again.

One night of passion changed everything.

Ian makes a mistake that nearly costs Quinn her life, awakening something buried deep within her mind. As her body fights to survive, so does her soul.

The darkness begins to whisper.

The light fights back.

And somewhere between them lies a bond neither Quinn nor Ian understands.

The coven already knew the truth.

Quinn isn't simply fighting to survive.

She's fighting for control of herself.

Because if the darkness wins, the woman they know as Quinn may disappear forever.

And the greatest danger isn't discovering what lives inside her.

It's discovering who she really is.

The war in her mind is still going on, but Quinn has one choice of her own to make.

The dark.

The light.

Or the bond.
