ABOUT THE BOOK

From USA Today bestselling author L. R. W. Lee, Marked is the third book in the addictive Morningstar Academy series, about a fallen angel who fights to save a world spiraling out of control, all while trying to protect humans and her own heart. This intriguing and unseen world of angels and demons is perfect for fans of Good Omens and Penryn & the End of Days. It will give perspective and hope in a world that feels like it’s upside down these days.

Despite their best efforts, fallen angel Gladriel, her new fallen friends, and her former squadron mates have had limited success shifting the world ending prophecy and they feel increasingly helpless as war, famine, plague, and hyperinflation rage, killing millions of the humans they are committed to protecting. 

With conditions worsening on Earth, celestial warriors are kept increasingly busy aiding humans, making Squadron Leader Kessien less and less available. At the same time, Morningstar Academy forces Glad to do increasingly heinous things to humans, and the distance stretches their relationship to the breaking point.

Glad and her fallen friends’ only hope for rescue is to throw themselves on the Almighty’s mercy and beg him to reverse their sentences. Trouble is, Glad will never be sorry for avenging her BFF’s honor, against his explicit orders. So when her friends promise to never abandon her for their own safety, she finds it unbearable to be the cause of their impending doom along with her own. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

“I compare you to my all time favorite authors, whose every book I have read: Catherine Cookson and Jodie Picoult. Yes, your style, and subject matter, and audiences are not the same, but for my sense of enjoyment?  I’ll add you gladly to my list along with the likes of David Baldacci, Stephen King, John Grisham, Nicholas Sparks, etc who have also given me hours of enjoyment, each in their own style.” -Carol E., Avid Reader
