Carve the Mark
by Veronica Roth
Science Fiction. Though the energy of the Current provides singular powers to everyone in the nearby nation-planets, Cyra's "currentgift" is more of a curse: it plagues her with constant pain that she can transfer to others by touch. Cyra's power-hungry brother, the ruler of the Shotet people, uses her as a weapon, but he also provides relief in the form of Akos, an enemy prisoner from Thuvhe whose gift can stop Cyra's pain. As Akos and Cyra forge an unexpected bond, each has to decide where their true loyalty lies. Blending fantasy and science fiction, author Veronica Roth delivers the immersive world-building her fans expect, this time in a brutal, interplanetary setting.
