Description
When 19-year-old Ayana stumbles upon a buried relic beneath an ancient sugar tree in rural Georgia, her world cracks open-literally. Marked by ancestral magic and haunted by visions, she's drawn into a hidden war older than any history book dares record. With the help of Kofi, a spiritual scholar with family secrets of his own, and Malachi, a mysterious young man bound to the same darkness that nearly consumed her, Ayana must confront the legacy of power, pain, and prophecy left in her bloodline. But when her growing powers awaken a forgotten entity known only as the Hollow Crown, Ayana realizes she's not just a bearer of magic-she's a key. And something is watching her. The door has opened. What walks through will either heal the world-or hollow it. Powerful, poetic, and rooted in Black ancestral mysticism, The Obsidian Mark is a lush fantasy about identity, legacy, and the cost of awakening.
