Presence · the Marked

In the year 2054, the Thieves' Guild and the Mage's Circle have spent a decade locked in a war hidden in the shadows. With the Knights' Order destroyed in the third world war two decades prior, and the Tribe remaining neutral, there seems to be no one that can bring an end to the senseless violence between the former allies.

Enter Abigail Stone.

When a demon from Abigail's past attacks her and her lover, Kat, she finds herself thrust right into the middle of this conflict when Kat is forced to reveal herself as a member of the Thieves' Guild. In an attempt to protect Abigail and keep her out of the war, Kat gives her the Mark of the Thief which would steal away all memories surrounding the incident when removed.

This proves to be easier said than done.

When the mark surprisingly refuses to budge, Abigail is stuck with the proof of her knowledge in the form of an actual target on her back. Taking responsibility, Kat and her allies must protect Abigail from those on both sides who would wish to harm her for the mark she now bears.

Now tied to three individuals who can shape her reality with their very presence, Abigail must embrace the change thrust upon her or succumb to the impending storm.

Fortunately, Abigail is far from helpless. With a talent for breaking into technology, Abigail proves herself to not only be an invaluable asset but possibly the key to ending this war filled with magic, gods, and crime.

"Presence: The Marked" is the first book of the Presence series and depicts Abigail's transformation into an international criminal.
