THE UNNAMED RUNE: The Blood-Rune Saga (Book 1)

Rucker is innocent but condemned to die, simply because he was born with the cursed “Stain of Death”. Although he bears a dreaded birthmark, he is one of the lucky ones; one of the few not immediately slain at birth as the law decrees. And now, at seventeen, his sudden ability to draw upon cataclysmic elemental magic will change the world forever. He is brave, honorable, and determined to become a great swordmaster. But he is also twice cursed. The first is his fault — a personal flaw caused by an inability to harness his rage. The second is beyond his control — a gift of the gods, thrust upon him because of who he is.
