Nobody had expected the secrets that Rochester Academy's fire was destined to reveal. For nearly a year, the newly opened Academy had survived in peace, lying to its students and its teachers about the very reason that they were there. But with a single burst of flame the entire auditorium was lit up. It was then that the school discovered their own truth. Each and every single one of them was Marked; known only by the mysterious powers that seemed to follow the living tattoos upon their bodies.

The Marked, however, have never been alone in this secret world that they are being thrust back in to. From the shadows come the inhuman creatures that have hidden in plain sight for longer than anyone can remember. Their world is opening and they say more is soon to come.
