In Farlon, your future is burned into your skin.
For generations, the nation of Farlon has maintained peace through fear, division, and control. Those marked by the state are treated as lesser citizens-watched, condemned, and stripped of opportunity before they ever have the chance to choose their own path.
Mathew Synchresi has spent his entire life trying to survive beneath that stigma. But when he is forced into the brutal Keeper Indoctrination Program, survival becomes something far worse than suffering. Thrust into a system designed to break boys into weapons, Mat must endure ruthless trials, deadly training, and the horrors lurking beyond Farlon's walls.
As friendships fracture, truths unravel, and the line between protector and prisoner begins to blur, Mat discovers that the greatest threat to Farlon may not exist beyond the Wall-but within it.
Dark, cinematic, and emotionally gripping, Farlon: Birth of Marks is a dystopian sci-fi thriller about identity, survival, sacrifice, and the terrifying cost of belonging.
