Carve the mark, bk. 1]

El don de la joven CYRA consiste en provocar dolor. El mismo dolor atroz que ella siente en todo momento. El don de AKOSle hace inmune a los dones de los demás, pero ¿bastará para salvar a su familia y a sí mismo de un destino tan injusto como cruel? En un universo en guerra, los dones de CYRA y AKOS hacen que sean vulnerables, peones en manos de quienesquieren aprovecharse de su poder. Su única esperanza reside en unir sus fuerzas para luchar contra la injusticia y Convertir el dolor en poder. La desconfianza en lealtad. El amor en ansia de libertadOn a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not -- their gifts make them vulnerable to others control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world? Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra's currentgift gives her pain and power -- something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brothers hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows. Akos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive -- no matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust into Cyra's world, the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to survive -- or to destroy one another
