If you think your high school life is complicated, try being an embodiment of titanic elemental power that could very easily cause the destruction of the world as you know it, then add in complicated love triangles, multiple secret organizations, several kidnappings and runaways, and some lies and deceit. This is what Megan’s life becomes after she moves to Ireland and discovers a life-changing secret about herself. In The Carrier of the Mark and Shadow of the Mark by Leigh Fallon, you follow Megan Rosenberg as she overcomes the many trials that confront her during her new life in Ireland.
In the first book, The Carrier of the Mark, Megan first moves to Ireland in hopes that her new life in the city of Knsale will be better than her previous life in the United States, where she and her dad had constantly moved around ever since her mom died. But when she falls for the mysterious Adam DeRise and is drawn into the magically perilous world that Adam and his family live in, Megan’s life is forever altered.
This spellbinding love story will consume readers as they dive ever further into the dark twisted world that has become Megan and the DeRise’s lives. Every page brings you closer to the truth about the mysterious DeRise family and the Order they are part of, but as that page turns, you are drawn further from the safety of normalcy as the magical events grow stronger and more dangerous. It becomes only a matter of time before Megan’s fate is sealed.
Leigh Fallon creates a perilous and mystical world that will tear at the reader’s heart strings as the love between Adam DeRise and Megan grows, is tested, and is pushed to immeasurable feats. This story may even leave you speechless (as it left me) and craving to know what happens next.
The love story of Megan and Adam continues in the mesmerizing sequel, Shadow of the Mark. As dark secrets about the Order–the one group the DeRise family thought they could trust–threaten to further devastate the lives of Adam, Aine, and Rian DeRise and lay waste to Megan’s life as well, a greater peril begins to manifest right under noses of those who will be effected the most by it. Thus the heart wrenching story of The Carrier of the Mark continues.
Enemies among friends or friends among enemies? The difference, if any, becomes hard to discern as lies and deceit infiltrate the close circle of friends that has become a second family to Megan. Will Megan be able to trust others again, and more importantly will she be able to trust herself again after the truth about her power becomes known and the lives of the people she loves are threatened?
If Leigh Fallon’s first book, The Carrier of the Mark, played with your heart strings, then you may want to grab a box of tissues, because this sequel will play tug-of-war with them. By the end of this otherworldly yet enchanting book, I was not only left speechless but my heart ached for Megan, for all that she had gone through, and for all that she will have to go through to fulfill a destiny she never even wanted.
I am eager to know what’s in store next for Megan and the DeRises and am anxiously waiting to learn the release date of Leigh Fallon’s next book.
