Bloodmarked: Plot
Taking the story forward, Bloodmarked will now be focusing on Bree, who has become someone new: a Medium, a Bloodcrafter, A Scion. The magical war between the demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak. Nick, the boy she fell in with, has been kidnapped. And she is also the living anchor for the spell that preserves the Legendborn cycle, which means she must be protected at any cost.
Bree wants to fight back, but she also wants to rescue the boy she loves the most. Finally, having made a decision, Bree and her friends plan to go on the run to rescue Nick, but there are enemies everywhere. If Bree wants to save herself and the people she loves, then she must learn to use her magical powers without losing herself in the process.

Nothing much has been disclosed yet, but we are really looking forward to watching the series. We are eager to see what the show makers will decide to do with the story of this teenager seeking the truth about her mother’s death. Until any news is revealed, we would be reading both the books in hopes of getting our chance to experience something magical like these stories.
