Synopsis

Gabriel’s eyes haven’t left my face. There’s not much he can do to me that he’s not already entitled to: my body and my magic, served up on a plate in return for my brother’s freedom. I swallow hard. I’m hardly naïve—but I’ve never gone all the way. I can’t back out now. I can’t let my family down...

Sadie Sadler lives in the big city. Takes the train to work each day. Drinks fancy coffee. Does yoga… and never, ever does magic, lest it leads Gabriel Thornber straight to her door.

Sadie’s family have used their magic to protect the small northern town of Mannith for centuries. But now, Sadie’s brother Brendan is on trial for murder, and Gabriel, the charismatic and sinister head of the Sadlers’ only rivals, is moving to take the town. Only Sadie has both the knowledge to save Brendan and the magical strength to face down Gabriel.

The trouble is, there’s a good reason Sadie left home and turned her back on magic: she bargained away her powers and her body to Gabriel to save her damn brother the last time he got in trouble. If she comes home, Gabriel will try to collect… but there’s no way she’ll allow her brother to rot in jail or her family’s strength to wane.

Returning in disguise, Sadie’s plan to save Brendan and get out is tested as she’s dragged back into a world of magic and power, with Gabriel at its centre. Battling both her long-standing terror of him and a growing, dark attraction, she must decide who Mannith’s real villains are and how far she’ll go for her family.

A promise made… a magical debt unpaid. This is a fight that could cost Sadie everything.

The Twisted Mark is a forbidden love, enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel that will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of A Deadly Education, The Atlas Six and the Zodiac Academy series.

About this title

About the Author

Sophie Williamson writes adult speculative fiction with a heavy side order of romance, generally involving some combination of morally ambiguous protagonists; villainous love interests; unreliable narrators; scheming, complex family dynamics; and big twists. She grew up in the north of England and now lives in London with her husband and their pre-school daughter and baby son. She studied history at Oxford University (she still loves the three Rs: Renaissance, Restoration, and Regency), then went to law school and qualified as a barrister. She now works for the UK Government. Her writing often draws on her knowledge and experience of history, law, and politics. Sophie loves reading as wide a variety of fiction as possible, though again fantasy of all kinds tends to be her favourite. She also enjoys reviewing novels and is an Amazon top 1000 reviewer and an enthusiastic NetGalley participant. Books aside, she’s fanatical about home exercise (mainly weights and yoga) and also about cooking – the two things just about balance each other out! She’s also a big fan of football (aka “soccer”) and indie/rock music.
