Shadow of The Marked

It takes years to create alliances, gain power, and build a kingdom. But, it only took one night for Princess Althea's world to be burned down to ashes. Now, after years in captivity and torture, she knows herself only as a prisoner and nothing else. That is, until a face hidden deep within the shadows with eyes as gold as rich honey, gives her a chance to change her fate once again. Can a queen rise from the ashes of defeat? Only Althea, the last heir to the realm, made up of five powerful kingdoms, can find the answer. She must embark on a journey filled with secrets and distrust to take her throne back from the very people that aimed to destroy it. However, the road to freedom is never easy. With years of having her earth abilities suppressed by her captors, her new found abilities begin to rise like a ticking time bomb. Althea will have to tread carefully, for one wrong move can leave the kingdoms with no hope-and no queen. They say there is a thin line between love and hate. Can Althea distinguish the two when the lines are blurred?
