Some stories are written in ink. Hers are carved into skin.
Eloise Harker is a young journalist obsessed with documenting the scars of strangers—the visible wounds that hide deeper truths. But when her fascination turns into a dark compulsion, she begins recreating the marks on her own body… and becomes the subject of a story she can’t control.
Soon, Eloise is contacted by The Archivist, a mysterious figure who claims to understand her obsession better than she does. What begins as a chilling exchange becomes a psychological game of possession, pain, and legacy. With each new scar, Eloise loses more of herself—and gains something far more terrifying.
They called her a survivor. Then, they called her a saint. Now, they call her something else entirely.
But Eloise isn’t finished.
She’s about to rewrite the ending.
MARKED is a gripping psychological horror novel about obsession, trauma, and the twisted ways we search for meaning in pain. For fans of Sharp Objects, The Silent Patient, and The Haunting of Hill House, this chilling descent into the mind—and the body—will stay with you long after the final page.*
