A riveting epic fantasy debut, BLACKMARK immerses readers in a tumultuous world of intrigue, passion, and power with the grit of George Martin and the adventure of Robin Hobb. Wrongfully accused of treason, veteran Kingsman Elohl seeks the truth of the betrayal that haunts his memory, which decimated his people a decade ago. Inked with the Blackmark and despised for it, Elohl returns home, uncovering the truth of how the Kingsmen vanished. Ancient enemies are exposed, reaping a bloody war in the shadows, that will burn nations and bring kings to their knees. As Castellan Lhaurent usurps power from the throne, Elohl must overcome assassins and protect the Queen - to shatter the dominion of the powerful Khehemni Lothren. Treachery sets him on his path in this epic adventure of bitter friends and gracious enemies.
