Ink #1
A Gift Unknown
alternate cover edition 9780615911748
When Ali Snow first discovers a strange mark on her arm upon her eighteenth birthday, she tries to dismiss it as an innocent stain. However when the mark returns, her suspicions quickly deepen. She reaches out for help from her grandfather, but his unexpected death leaves Ali to face the mystery alone.
Each time the mark returns, Ali is haunted further by the foreign symbols she searches to understand while carefully hiding it from those around her. She manages to keep her secret safe until one night someone sees more than expected, and Ali soon learns there’s more to the mark than the mere ink upon her skin.
For with the mark comes the darkness to destroy, or the power to protect, but only if she accepts it for the gift it really is.

About the author

Hi, I’m Mae East, and I write stories across many different genres. Why? Mostly because I’m probably a little unhinged, slightly unbalanced, or maybe just delightfully psychotic—honestly, no one really knows. What I do know is that I connect more with people than with settings. I’m generally upbeat and positive, but my stories can wander into darker territories. I guess we all crave contrast, right? Even deep within our own souls.
At the heart of it, I love people, and I love telling stories—especially the kind that mean something to someone. And if nothing else, I hope my stories give readers a break from life’s troubles by dropping them straight into someone else’s. My books definitely aren’t for everyone (and honestly, it would be pretty strange if they were), but if you do decide to take a journey with me, I hope it’s worth the trip. And if not? No worries—there might be another story in a different genre that feels more like home.
Either way, thank you so much for stopping by, and from one reader to another, I wish you the very best on all your book-adventures. 📚✨

I really liked this book, hated the ending. Typo's and misspelled words( unless this was an ARC copy) I will read the next book and see if it is any better.

I couldn't stop reading it until I finished it in one sitting . I find the story intriguing although the script need to be reviewed due to some mistakes . I had an issue religion wise with angels walking as humans and fallen angels getting married to humans but such things set aside .. the storyteller had a really vivid imagination and looking forward to read what happens next.
