Marked By The Dark Professors;, Claimed By The Cursed Princes

Sable has spent her entire life trying to stay invisible. But on her first day back at Vael Academy, a strange mark blooms beneath her skin, Professor Ashgrave's composure shatters, and four cursed princes crash through the classroom windows to claim her.

They tell her the mark is a key to an ancient power sealed away for three hundred years. They tell her she must survive the night before the mark reaches her heart. What they don't tell her is why six immortal men have been waiting centuries for a girl they've never met.

Hidden in the academy's forbidden East Wing, Sable discovers the diary of Iris-the last marked girl. Iris's final warning changes everything: the professors and princes aren't the true enemy. Something far older has been waiting for the mark to return, and someone betrayed Iris before she could stop it.

As the mark grows stronger and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Sable must decide who to trust in a school built on lies. But every answer comes with a price, and the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the greatest danger may not be the curse...

It may be the girl carrying it.
