The Unmarked
The Accord, Book One
About the Book
Every child in the empire is tested. Wynn expected to be sorted like the rest of them, handed a guild and a future, and sent on her way.
She is a Null. In a world where people trade pieces of themselves to move stone, mend a wound, or wear another face, Wynn reaches for that power and finds nothing there. She grew up thinking that made her lesser. She is about to discover that the guilds have been waiting a very long time for a girl exactly like her, and that no one intends to explain why.
Behind the testing and the placements and the ordinary cruelties of a new school, Wynn finds the shape of something much larger. A compact the whole empire rests on. A war whose real story was never written down. And a reason her particular absence of power is the most closely watched thing in the capital.
The Unmarked is the first book of The Accord, a multi-book series about power, cost, and the difference between what you are told you are and what you turn out to be.
