Power Marked: A YA Fantasy with Academy Trials, Forbidden Magic, and Romance

The Blackstone Trials YA Fantasy eBooks Series Book 1

By: R.F. Price

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Power Marked is a YA fantasy with deadly academy trials, forbidden magic, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers edge.

Ryn Calder wasn’t chosen because she’s powerful.
She was chosen because she’s unsanctioned.

At Blackstone, students aren’t taught—they’re tested. Rankings change overnight. Trials punish hesitation. And the academy doesn’t just fail the weak… it removes them.

Ryn has survived her whole life by staying invisible. But Blackstone is different. The stone walls watch. The runes remember. And a hidden mark under her skin reacts to the academy’s magic—threatening to expose the forbidden power she’s spent years suppressing.

Her most dangerous obstacle isn’t the trials. It’s Corin Ash—legacy student, top-ranked contender, and the academy’s perfect enforcer. He’s everything Blackstone rewards: controlled, precise, loyal to the rules. And for reasons Ryn can’t afford to understand, he can’t stop watching her.

As students disappear and alliances fracture, Ryn is forced into impossible choices: obey and be broken, or fight and be seen. Because in a YA fantasy with an academy built to control magic, being different isn’t a gift.
It’s a sentence.
