Prologue

Nicole Murphy is a 17 year old girl living in the Midwestern part of what was once the United States. The US is against one another, leaving family and close friends to be the only ones people can trust. After her older brother leaves and her youngest sister passes, she's left with a torn apart family, and her drawing to be the only safe haven, until she meets Cade. Cade works a group that is hidden from the government with an agenda to make it all better, which is what she's told. She leaves everything she knows to help these people, because she has the Marks, and wants to do anything she can to make things better for everyone.
