Trimarked Series

Her life is forbidden.   The realms of Terra, Heldu and Gypsum share the Earth. They've been separated by the gossamer power of the Veil for thousands of years, like words on either side of a page. Two decades ago, the Veil malfunctioned over the town of Trifecta. Fae and Witches living in the same space within their realms were forced from home and into the human realm. The Veil hardened, creating an impenetrable bubble around Trifecta where all three races found themselves trapped and forgotten.   At seventeen, Ember has always lived in Trifecta. Born of a human mother, Witch father and birthed on Fae soil, her existence is forbidden. All that keeps her safe is the Binding Ink tattoo the Fae gave her at birth to block her from potential powers. The Trimark.   Yet Ember's power may be beyond containment. She has sway over the barrier, can even open a door for a brief time. Her systems of safety start to dissolve in a moment of self defense, when throwing out a human boy has consequences beyond the Fae.   And when someone carves their way through the barrier into their secluded town, events unfold that threaten her existence.

Hope was dangerous for the Trimarked girl. It's been five weeks since Nicu saved Ember from the barrier, and she doesn't know how long until he tells the Fae about her growing powers. She soon discovers the small openings she can create in the impenetrable barrier around the city of Trifecta no longer snap shut but now ease closed at her command. Ember already balances on a fine line between accident and purpose; using her power intentionally will certainly bring the wrath of all three races. Though she doesn't belong anywhere, she's not willing to become a prisoner to any of the factions. When a Witch Queen arrives in Trifecta with the goal to enslave the minds and bodies of magic users, Ember must take a different path: use without control. As the Queen gathers new followers, Ember may not have a choice whether she'll expose her newfound strength if it means saving the few people she dares to call friends.
