The Black Mark

By Linda Ellis Lee

In the shadows of the world, where the boundaries between light and darkness blur, a bloodline has been marked by a curse century in the making. At first, it appears as a blessing-an ancient power that stirs within a select few, a gift passed down through the generations. But in truth, the mark is no gift at all. It is a ticking clock, a harbinger of something darker, something older, waiting for the right moment to awaken.
When the first cry of a newborn echoes through the sterile, cold air of a hospital, something stirs in the hearts of the cursed. A black mark-alive, pulsing with a dark rhythm-appears on the child's skin, a symbol of a force that has long been sealed away, but never forgotten. It is a mark of hunger, a mark that will lead them down a path of destruction and temptation. The heirs of this bloodline, all scattered across the world, are drawn to one another by an invisible thread, their abilities growing stronger, their desires darker.
As they come of age, the true nature of the bloodline reveals itself. They are not just humans with special abilities-they are vessels for an ancient entity, a being of shadow and hunger, whose only purpose is to consume. Their powers grow with each use, but so too does the insatiable craving inside them. It is a hunger that cannot be satisfied with food, a hunger that calls for something deeper-something more terrifying.
As the heir's battle between their humanity and their monstrous destiny, they must confront the truth: they are not the masters of their fate. They are pawns in a much older game, bound to a force that seeks to break free and claim dominion over the world.
This is a story of survival and damnation, of ancient forces clawing their way back into the world. It is a journey through horror, betrayal, and sacrifice, where every choice is laced with consequence and every step draws the heirs closer to the heart of the darkness that threatens to consume them all.
Welcome to The Black Mark. The eclipse is near, and with it, the world will never be the same.
