Afflicted

Hope was dangerous for the Trimarked girl.
It’s been five weeks since Nicu saved Ember from being overcome by the power of the Veil. Since then, she has lived under the threat of discovery from those who fear her growing power.
Ember already balances on a fine line between accident and purpose; using her power intentionally will certainly bring the wrath of human, Witch and Fae alike. 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.
Ember has to rely on the one truth she has ever known: Fighting is her best feature.
‘Afflicted’ is the second book in the Trimarked series and walks the grimdark edge between young adult fantasy and urban fantasy. With a rich cast of characters and deep world building, this is the book for you if you’re a fan of fast moving plots steeped in a world of magic. If you like gritty heroines with unknown destinies who refuse to quit, get trapped in Trifecta with Ember today
Praise for Trimarked - book 1 in the Trimarked series:
Enemies become friends as friends become enemies in the engaging tale of Trimarked. Sorens seamlessly blends loyalty, bias, deception, and mystery into her page turning urban fantasy. I quickly became invested in the characters and look forward to adding the upcoming second book of the series, Afflicted, to my TBR.
So well written, I enjoyed this a lot. The characters are rich and developed. The setting is deep and detailed and I love how the three aspects intermingled. I will be awaiting the next part!
