Set in a tyrannical dystopia, follow Carson Owens as he navigates the rocky terrain of forbidden love, irreparable heartbreak, and ghastly secrets that could turn the world upside down.

The brand of Anem is an ancient imprint that marks the bodies of lovers. Carson Owens shares a brand with no other than the duchess, Margaret James. With her rank and reputation on the line, they will do everything in their power to hide the brand that binds their souls.

Things unexpectedly go sideways when Carson is arrested and the brand discovered. Unknowingly, he has hurt and embarrassed an old flame, Gina Blake, with the discovery of his sin. Suffering more than enough grief in her short life, Gina wants nothing more than to leave behind her past life and prays desperately for an escape.

Amidst the fumbles of his love life, questions emerge about Carson's family as well as about the adults of their world-those who've been through the mysterious Ritual on their eighteenth birthday, the ones they call Matures. More may be revealed than anyone is prepared to handle.
