House of Marionne

Quell Marionne has lived her entire life on the run in order to hide the deadly magic that flows through her veins. Until someone discovers her dark secret and wants her dead.
Until Quell enrols into a society called the Order and sets to pass their three rites of membership under the watchful eye of her estranged Grandmother. If she is successful she will be able to bury her forbidden magic forever.
However things start to get more complicated when she meets her brooding mentor, Jordan.
Nothing is quite as it seems in the Order and it isn't long until Quell realises her enemies may be closer than she thinks . . .

Quell Marionne’s Rite of Induction to House Marionne sent shockwaves through the magical world, unearthing secrets and her own deadly power. With nowhere to go, she is on the run for her life and finds refuge with the mysterious Beaulah Perl, who promises sanctuary. For a price.

Jordan, an assassin, has been, charged with locating the elusive Sphere, the source of all magic. But when his brotherhood reveals its sordid intentions and he uncovers the deadly ambitions of Beulah, he must make a choice—partner with Quell. Or kill her.

With broken hearts and ancient secrets, Shadows of Perl reveals that some that are worse than death.

With the future of the Order clouded in uncertainty, and the evil within its ranks coming to the surface, everyone Quell cares about is gone and she still can’t escape the powerful legacy that wants to destroy her.

Meanwhile, a darkness festers inside Dragunheart Jordan Wexton.

His path to survival means becoming the monster he was bred to hate, if he can overcome the power rotting within himself.

In a world where the line between proper and forbidden magic blurs, Quell and Jordan, along with two unlikely allies, must navigate a treacherous path where freedom hangs by a thread.

Will rivalries and deadly betrayals shatter their hearts and destroy the world they once knew?
