Marked: A Dark Paranormal Why Choose Gothic Romance (Wicked Heirs Book 1)

Avril Velez never belonged at Messana’s elite magic academy. Her power is weak, her future uncertain—until her mother announces an engagement to Lucian Romano, the city’s most feared sorcerer.

Now Avril’s life is ripped away and replaced with a gilded prison inside Lucian’s dark estate, where his three sons—Titus, Valen, and Bastian—torment her at every turn. But their cruelty masks something far more dangerous: obsession. Possessive. All-consuming. And each brother seems intent on making her his.

As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, Avril is pulled deeper into the Romano family’s twisted web of power, desire, and forbidden magic. The line between torment and temptation blurs—and escape may no longer be what she wants.

But Lucian has plans of his own. And if Avril can’t outplay them all, she won’t just lose her freedom—she’ll lose herself.
