The Cushing A mark on his skin. A kingdom in ruins. A memory too powerful to stay buried. In a fractured land haunted by the ghosts of kings and the ashes of rebellion, a peasant boy named Thomas carries a secret etched into his flesh: a crown-shaped mark no one living can explain. Raised far from the halls of power, he never sought a throne--only peace in a country that has forgotten how to dream. But the land remembers. Whispers of prophecy circle him. Old alliances stir. And in the shadows, a silent uprising called The Cushing awakens. As ancient oaths are unsealed and lost powers rise, Thomas is thrust into a reckoning centuries in the making. Guided by unlikely allies--a fallen noblewoman with fire in her veins, a best friend bound by loyalty and pain, and a secret order sworn to protect the realm's forgotten truth--Thomas must decide if he will lead, or be led. Because kings are not made by blood alone. They are made by memory. And the land is watching. Perfect for fans of character-rich historical fantasy and sweeping tales of destiny, The Cushing is a story of sacrifice, sovereignty, and the quiet magic of being truly remembered.
