The Mark of Chaos and Creation - by Arabella K Federico (Paperback)

About the Book

Two enemies, two lovers. Which will she choose, and which will she destroy? The one who has forced her to be his personal mercenary, or the one who's doubted her from day one? Perhaps she'll go with the rebel army she's spying for instead?

Book Synopsis

She's waited six long years for her revenge.

Karalevine Ruzz was born with a mysterious star mark on her chest. A mark that gives her powers, but worse... it also gives her problems.

One of those problems comes in the form of the prince of Arianyte. However, Prince Malakyte is no knight in shining armor. He wears all black and his words always have a double meaning. Malakyte has one mission:

Find Karalevine and make her his.

Kara also has one sole objective: to destroy the Arianyte Empire.

After kidnapping her best friend, Kara is determined to bring down the empire that took everything from her.

Yet, once Kara infiltrates the empire, the lines between who's good and who's bad begins to blur, her new team becoming too much like the family she's always longed for.

They have the answers she needs. She has the power Prince Malakyte wants.

Neither of them know that she's a spy for the rebellion.

Let the chaos begin.

Review Quotes

"The Mark of Chaos and Creation by Arabella Federico kept every promise this book made to me. It promised aliens, spirituality, feminine rage, and a strong female hero." Hanna Johnson, Goodreads

"Easily one of the best new YA scifi series this year." Nyx Fray, Goodreads

"Wow, where do I begin... This book is not only a huge page turner, but it had me doubting everybody for 90% of the story!" Goodreader reviewer

Megan says, "Admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of science fiction (or aliens). So, I went to this book thinking I wouldn't like it. Boy was I wrong! After making it through the first half, I got through the last half quickly. Each chapter left me wanting to know what happens next. The plot twists along with the fighting scenes were clear and easy to follow. I'm excited to see where this story goes and I cannot wait for the next one!"

Nikki things, "I have to admit the character development and world building were absolutely amazing. The world that you're thrown into from Federico will captivate you and leave you turning the pages so fast to find out what's going to happen next. The plot held my interest with all the twists and turns. Trust me you'll want to read this. Be prepared for a wild ride."

Lindsey raves, "The Mark of Chaos and Creation was INCREDIBLE!

5/5 easily!

Once this book got moving, it moved! Like glued to the page, taking the book to breakfast lunch and dinner and all the toilet breaks in-between type of glued to the page!

First of all! ALIENS WITH MAGIC. Are you kidding me?! It's everything my nerdy heart could ever want. Secondly, fast moving plot! Which I love.

World building- stellar and not "here is all you need to know in one exposition" you learn more as you read

How's the main character? I LOVED HER! Her motivations were so clear in every part stringing me along her journey masterfully.

Tropes: aliens, dystopian, magic, enemies to lovers!

I got to read this book as an ARC but I will be buying my own hard copy because I need to reread, annotate-and reread again. THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP."

Hailey says, "Finally, a dystopian book that lives up to the standards The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner set that few books have lived up to since then while adding in amazing fantasy elements!"

Teanne raves, "This book is Fantastic!!! It took me a bit to get in to it. and catch up with the characters, but once you get past the first couple chapters it's like forget about life this is where all your attention goes!"
