💫💫"Markless" by C.G. Malburi💫💫

is a young adult fantasy novel set in a world where social status and magical abilities are determined by the marks on people's palms. The protagonist, Ruti, is a Markless witch, which means she lacks the mark that grants others their magical powers. Despite this, she is a formidable survivor and possesses unique abilities that allow her to connect with the spirits through song, giving her access to extraordinary magic.
The story also follows Princess Dekala, who is under pressure to bond with a prince to secure her throne. However, she is determined to remain unbonded and claim her power independently. When their paths cross, Dekala offers Ruti a deal: use her magic to help Dekala avoid bonding, or face dire consequences.
As Ruti and Dekala navigate their tumultuous relationship, themes of love, betrayal, and societal discrimination unfold, leading to unexpected alliances and a struggle for survival for the Markless.
