Mark of the Mage: Scribes of Medeisia Book I

Books never die, but they can be forbidden. Medeisia is a country in turmoil. The king has outlawed magic & learning. Those who practice are branded. 16 yr-old Drastona lives secluded, spending her spare time in the Archives of her father's manor surrounded by scribes. She wants to be one of them. But when the scribes are disbanded, she enters a world where the marked must survive or die.
