The Marks of Ithae, #1
Reeks: The Marks of Ithae
K. L. Cook
- Paden
- City
- has
- been
- shut
- away
- from
- the
- world
- for
- generations.
- Mysteries
- within
- and
- without
- the
- domed
- sanctuary
- begin
- to
- unravel
- while
- a
- growing
- threat
- looms
- over
- everyone
- who
- calls
- it
- home.
- After
- the
- execution
- of
- the
- City's
- most
- notorious
- crime
- lord,
- unintended
- consequences
- begin
- to
- ripple
- outward
- from
- the
- crime-riddled
- Cloud
- District
- to
- the
- upper
- echelons
- of
- power
- along
- stately
- Aurthur
- Avenue.In
- the
- dregs
- of
- the
- city,
- the
- determined
- investigator
- Nereya's
- sense
- of
- justice
- turns
- the
- criminal
- underworld
- into
- a
- powder
- keg.
- She
- is
- forced
- out
- of
- the
- only
- life
- she's
- ever
- known,
- but
- her
- new
- assignment
- offers
- her
- unique
- resources
- to
- expose
- the
- drug-running
- crime
- syndicate
- that
- has
- haunted
- her
- career
- and
- her
- life.
- However,
- her
- stoic
- individualism
- creates
- as
- many
- problems
- as
- it
- does
- opportunities.Far
- removed
- from
- Paden
- City,
- Aeric
- seems
- destined
- for
- a
- life
- of
- war,
- though
- his
- heart
- longs
- for
- peace
- with
- his
- family.
- To
- save
- his
- sister's
- life,
- he
- embarks
- on
- a
- journey
- that
- thrusts
- him
- into
- unwanted
- leadership
- and
- a
- duty
- he
- cannot
- refuse.
- His
- newfound
- power
- gives
- him
- the
- edge
- he
- needs
- to
- protect
- his
- clan
- at
- a
- dark
- cost,
- and
- spurs
- him
- to
- find–or
- make–a
- better
- life
- for
- his
- people
- in
- the
- face
- of
- the
- unknown.As
- readers
- shadow
- the
- steps
- of
- this
- cast
- of
- characters
- and
- how
- they
- are
- connected,
- they
- will
- begin
- to
- see
- that
- Paden
- City
- is
- only
- the
- beginning
- of
- an
- epic
- adventure
- in
- a
- world
- bigger,
- more
- colorful,
- and
- more
- perilous
- than
- it appears.
