    Teak Frain is one of the last Light Skins left on earth. Taunted, tormented, and even injured, "Teak the Freak" has endured more than most sixteen year olds. She is mad. Extremely mad. And somebody is going to pay for it. In war ravaged Bay City, death, violence, and a new law that threatens her life weigh heavily on her mind, not to mention her lack of Power. She clearly bears the Mark of Power on her cheek, but deep down, Teak knows it is all a lie. Shunned and tortured by her teammates, Teak chooses to go it alone, and that is perfectly fine with her. When a series of events launches her on a perilous journey, Teak must choose to depend on others...or die. When two boys enter the scene, one irritating and the other mesmerizing, Teak wonders if she has a shot at a normal life. But will her lack of Power ruin it? This post-apocalyptic novel, Book 1 in the Mark of Power Series, is riveting with suspense, action, betrayal, and the brimming hope of romance.
