Showing results for "Marked" in Paranormal

Magic has been outlawed for almost a century, and anyone caught wielding it or bearing its mark is executed. Which is why I know every day could be my last. I'm marked for death. My skin bears the branding of the moon. I just thank the stars that it's not somewhere visible. For one night, I willingly put myself in danger, picking a stranger to lose myself in before I begin my life of servitude to the crown as a member of the King's Guard. But the man I thought was a stranger turns out to be the Blade of the King, Thorn, my new boss.

Pierce Ambrose. That was the name of the man I'd been sent to kill. The man I'd failed to kill. I have one day left to make good on my contract before the thugs holding my sister and her son start sending me pieces of them. Pierce Ambrose. A man with a secret I didn't uncover until it was too late to turn back, too late to give up on trying to kill him. Now, if I want to see my sister and nephew again, I have to try one last time. My name is Mac Brennan, and this time I'm playing for keeps.

In a broken landscape carved by environmental collapse, Boston paramedic Cacia Ferry risks life and limb on the front lines of a fragile and dangerous city. What most don't know - including her sexy new partner, Eli Margolis - is that while Cacy works to save lives, she has another job ferrying the dead to the Afterlife. Once humans are "Marked" by Fate, the powerful Ferrys are called to escort the vulnerable souls to either eternal bliss or unending fire and pain.

Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

In the frigid woods at the edge of a storm, I'm going to find myself or die trying. I'm a fugitive of the fae city of Windhelm, framed for a murder I didn't commit. I only made it out of their dungeons by luck, and now I'm on the run - but so is the Prince.

The wolf shifters are cursed with a broken mating bond. For years, no one has felt the bond that has helped us find our mates for centuries. And now we're left mateless. Without the bond, we are slowly dying off. Our packs are growing smaller, weaker. Our powers are slowly diminishing. And it's my pack's fault. We caused the curse. But I'll be the one to break it. There's a prophecy—one that I know is about me. I'm destined to break the curse, to fix what my pack caused.

Some people are marked for greatness, some have all the luck, and some catch their boyfriend boning his secretary in the middle of the workday. Sick of being replaceable, I throw a dart at a map and ghost the jerk, ready to build a life that can't be packed up in an hour like I never existed at all. My fresh start comes to a bloody halt when I hit a dangerous man with more scars than sense on my way into town, someone that even the hospital is afraid to touch.

I used to think the truth was as clear and pure as my heart. Now, nothing is certain. Not the love I feel for two men—one reborn in darkness, the other clawing his way back to me. And certainly not the prophesy telling me that I'm destined to become the Fourth Horseman. The Order has given me my mission: fulfill my destiny by destroying Lucifer's unborn child and the girl carrying it. But destiny has never felt so wrong. Every instinct is screaming that this child isn't the monster they say it is. That it's something else entirely—something terrifyingly familiar.

Thanks to some experimental wizardry, Matt is out of Maggie's head. He's in a golem body, to be precise. It's not his body, but it's an improvement on his previous situation. Kind of. It's going to take some time for his soul to acclimatize to an unfamiliar home. Until that happens, Matt will have to hope the awkwardness that comes with learning to operate his new body isn't too much for everyone to handle. An unsolicited case means there's no time to worry about Matt's temporary weirdness.

Sometimes the penalty for magic is death. The Midwest Pack used the Clostra to perform a powerful and dangerous spell to save me. Now the pack is dealing with the aftermath and doing damage control. But they can't hide how the magic has changed the dynamics of the otherworld-or that they are responsible. Ethan has dangerous secrets and so do I. The worst one: I developed new and disturbing powers reminiscent of a deadly being that once ruled and terrorized the otherworld. What Ethan and I are has been exposed.

Lachlan and Keegan managed to get themselves caught by Adriel, the big bad lamia who murders and hunts Sentinels. Time is running out, and if my Chosen and I can't get battle ready, then we're destined to become more names on the list of the missing. It's time to meet the lamia who's been coming for me my whole life. It's time to do what no one else has been able to do. It's time to cut the f--ker's head off.

Hell is empty. The Devil is here. There is no road so long and winding as the one that leads you to the finish line. Every bend is meant to test you, every junction meant to bring you closer to that place where love and sacrifice meet. To that place in the valley where the sun doesn’t quite reach. Infernal is the long-anticipated fourth installment in The Marked saga.

Kissed by the spray of the Iguaçú Falls in the lush heart of the Brazilian rain forest, the luminous woman Tamires kneels, searching for answers. The falls have always beckoned her, their pull as mysterious as the fire that burns inside her - a fire whose elemental force is the key to unlocking her mystical destiny. Thirty years earlier, young Tamires was abandoned beneath the falls with only a sparkling amethyst pendant linking her to her origins.

They say that by the age of 40 you should have gained the skills and experience to have a better life. But the only thing I've gained is a job promotion to permanent desk jockey until retirement. I thought I escaped my mediocre destiny when I met my husband...until he died on our honeymoon and a series of unfortunate events left me with a strange mark on my body and my husband's corpse stolen right out of the funeral home!

They did their best to destroy everything I hold dear, but heaven made one fatal flaw - they didn’t kill me when they had the chance. You don’t attack the ones I love and get away with it. I never asked for this. I never wanted to become what I am. But the path to hell isn’t paved with good intentions. It’s paved by the retribution of the worst kind of monsters. The ones we create. And heaven is about to face the deadliest of their makings.
