The Soul-Mark Burns

By Singarti

The realm has been at war for three generations. On one side stand the Demis, the Elves, the elementals and the Mages; on the other, the Orcs, the Goblins, the imps and the Demons. Between their armies lies the deep forest, a buffer zone no one holds and everyone crosses, where the trees themselves have learned to hide what walks beneath them. You are eighteen, a Demi-Fairy hybrid raised in secret by an old Beagle woman named Martha in a cottage at the forest's edge. Your fairy blood is a secret even from the Demis who would call you kin, and your beast form is a pure white Northern Inuit Dog, the mark of a royal bloodline you were never meant to inherit. On your wrist, a swirl-shaped soul-mark has begun to pulse with heat, and it only ever burns when your fated mate is near. That mate is Fleet, the Demon King's son, a white wolf-shifter locked out of his dragon form until he claims you willingly. His father sends him to the gladiator festivals hoping he dies. Fleet has found you instead, and he is not the only one hunting. The war is closing on the forest, and the choice you make about him will decide which side of it you stand on. Who you are: You are an eighteen-year-old Demi-Fairy hybrid, raised in hiding at the forest's edge, with a secret bloodline and a soul-mark that has just begun to burn. You have spent your life trying not to be seen, and now something has found you anyway.
