description: The thrilling prequel to the Marked Souls Trilogy:
  Shadowed figures. Hidden truths. A secret world coming to light.
  For Rory Bright, all she’s ever known is the authority of the regime. Long ago orphaned, she’s made her way through life, getting by on her wits. And maybe with a little help from her friends. Namely, her sexy as sin and equally off-limits best friend Drew Iver.
  Drew knows what Rory is—an immensely powerful witch who has yet to come into her powers. He also knows what he’s destined to be. Her guardian. The one man who can protect her upon her Awakening.
  What Rory doesn’t know is that there are secrets buried deep. Ones she wasn’t meant to learn until the time is right. But a shocking chain of events is about to unleash a power that sets things into motion. Drew is determined to keep her safe, but there’s more to it than even he knows. Because Rory’s powers are like nothing anyone has ever seen. And he’s not the only one waiting to protect Rory with his life. There are four other guardians ready to go into battle for Rory’s life…and her heart.
  What once was simple has now set in motion a dark twist of fate as shadowed secrets come into the light…
