The Marked: A YA Fantasy Series of Forgotten Gods and Gifted Misfits
Zeke Copeland has always been different—haunted by time-slipping episodes he can’t control and a sickle-shaped birthmark that burns when he’s afraid. After getting expelled from his latest school, he’s shipped off to Atlas Peak Preparatory, an elite academy for “troubled” teens with nowhere else to go.
But Atlas Peak is no ordinary boarding school.
Every student bears a strange mark. Every teacher seems to be hiding something. And Zeke isn’t the only one who’s experiencing vivid flashes of memories that don’t belong to him—memories of ancient battles, forgotten symbols, and creatures that shouldn't exist.
As Zeke bonds with a group of other misfits—each marked, each gifted in ways they don’t yet understand—he begins to unravel a mystery buried deep in time. The closer they come to the truth, the more dangerous things become.
Somewhere between the past and the impossible, Zeke is starting to remember who he is.
And it could change everything.
