The Mark of Fate: Evan's Prequel (The Touched Saga, Book 2.5) Kindle Edition

by Elisa S. Amore (Author), Annie Crawford (Editor), Sonya Pall (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 216 ratings
From the Bestselling Author of Touched - The Caress of Fate

"This story will make you feel emotions that won’t easily leave your heart!" -Consuelo, Goodreads.★★★★★

"A wonderful prequel. As always, Elisa knows how to enchant readers with her writing, and here she offers us a piece of Evan William James’s tormented past." -Coffe&Books ★★★★★

London,1720. A young boy escapes through the crowd, a young woman cries out in despair. For Evan James, one brief moment is enough to understand what has happened and to set off in hot pursuit of the little thief. When Evan returns to restore her stolen goods—a priceless antique medallion—Lady Venetia is struck by the young man’s beauty, refined manner and noble spirit. She invites him to a reception taking place that evening at her father’s estate. It would be a rare opportunity for Evan to mingle with London’s nobility and, one day, even to win the hand of Lady Venetia, whose dowry might save his family from financial ruin. And yet, something inside Evan makes him refuse, as if, deep in his heart, he already feels he belongs to another woman. A woman he has yet to meet. A woman who, when the moment arrives, will forever seal his fate…

With her direct yet multi-faceted style, Elisa S. Amore skillfully weaves together love, mystery and action, bringing to life a tale that is passionate and intense, filled with boldness and romance, a story that serves as the perfect introduction and prequel to Touched - The Caress of Fate.

Fans of Veronica Roth, Stephenie Meyer, Cassandra Clare, and Lauren Kate will love this series by Elisa S. Amore.

    Such a lovely novella! I loved reading about Evan and learning some if his back story. Of course now I am plagued with more questions and theorys as to what is going to happen next and how Evan "knew" Jamie (Gemma) and how this will play out. Cannot wait for Brokenhearted to come out!! I am absolutely enthralled with the Touched Saga!! I love each individual story and the whole saga....such a lovely story!! I have been captivated by the characters and the whole world created by Elisa Amore!!!

    I finally got to read "The Mark of Fate" yesterday...***SPOILER ALERT***
    I am in awe of Evan's human characteristics, his values, his love for his mother and his hatred towards the man his father had become. I love his spirit, kindness and passion. I have developed my own theory and I imagine most have come to this conclusion as well...Evan was "haunted" by the woman that obviously "Marked" him which made him a Subterranean. Although, in his dreams of this woman even though he wanted her in an unusual way he felt it was wrong and the last dream he had when he was with this woman and he felt it wasn't right, he turned and saw Jamie..I'm guessing both Evan & Gemma have lived past lives and been in love prior to their meeting in Touched. I admire Elisa S. Amore's exceptional detail in her writing. She leaves many clues and possibilities of what may come with Gemma & Evan's story. I have a deep passion for her writing, it is poetic, haunting, beautiful, light, dark and always leaves me spellbound.

    The Mark of Fate by Elisa S. Amore is another fast-paced, cute novella from the Touched Saga. In this addition, we get the chance to delve deeper into Evan's past before he became the Subterranean that we all know and love. It brings more depth into his character and more understanding as to who he is as a person. This charming novella will help reopen the wounds that were gouged in us at the end of Unfaithful - The Deception of Night as we see new life breathed into Evan as we truly see, instead of told, about his home life.

    I like very much how the author presents Evan. This gaves the opportunity of knowing a little bit more about him and his life before Gemma. I'm still intrigue as to why he got the mark and about his dreams.
