Description
The Mark
A literary coming-of-age novel set inside the walls of the U.S. Naval Academy.
Gary Hale arrives at the Academy with a single goal: survive by staying invisible. But what begins as a prank gone sideways sparks a bond between four classmates -- each marked in ways they can't yet admit.
As the pressures of military life collide with buried family wounds, Gary must decide whether survival means disappearing -- or finally allowing himself to be seen. With the help of an unlikely crew -- Brenna, whose silence and savvy make her a perfect place for secrets; Darnell, a charismatic athlete who reveals more than he says; and Newbs, a deep mind with a wild streak -- Gary learns what it means to carry someone else's story as carefully as your own, even if you lose track of your own along the way.
Told in six immersive episodes, The Mark explores friendship, honor, shame, and the cost of becoming the person others expect you to be.
Perfect for fans of A Separate Peace, Prep, The Secret History, and Station Eleven, The Mark is an unforgettable debut about who we are under pressure -- and what remains once we strip away the dirt.
