The Dragon's Mark - Paperback

by Nichole Brown (Author)

Beneath a quiet ridge, something ancient stirs.

When Eira is marked by a power older than memory, she becomes bound to a force the village has long tried to forget. The land responds to her presence. Boundaries shift. Fire listens. And a dragon-neither villain nor savior-waits.

As fear spreads and control tightens, Eira is forced into a role she never sought: guardian, witness, and keeper of balance. But power held alone corrodes, and memory enforced becomes another kind of cage. When the village attempts to claim what should never be owned, Eira must choose between authority and restraint-between being the center of the story or stepping away from it entirely.

The Dragon's Mark is a gothic, atmospheric fantasy about endurance rather than conquest, memory rather than myth, and the quiet cost of holding something that was never meant to belong to anyone.
