A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
The world of The Sire’s Mark is meant to be dark, dangerous, dramatic, and sometimes even a little twisted—but beneath all the supernatural chaos is a story about survival, healing, choice, and discovering the strength that can exist inside someone who once believed they had none left.
Quinn’s journey is not about becoming strong overnight.
It is about learning, piece by piece, that she deserves to have a voice.
And sometimes the person who saves you isn’t the person you expected.
Sometimes the monster you feared becomes the one who teaches you how to stop being afraid.
And sometimes...
The most dangerous thing in the room is the woman who finally realizes she has nothing left to lose.
A THANK YOU FROM ME
To every reader who picked up this book—thank you.
Thank you for stepping into Silent Creek with me.
Thank you for giving Quinn, Killian, Lucy, Ian, and the rest of this strange, dangerous little world a place in your imagination.
Every page, every late-night writing session, every plot twist, every argument between characters, every what-the-hell-just-happened moment exists because someone, somewhere, decided to give my story a chance.
Writing a book is putting a little piece of yourself onto paper and hoping someone else will see something in it.
So if you laughed, screamed, cursed at Killian, wanted to throw the book across the room, fell in love with the characters, or stayed up far too late because you needed to know what happened next...
Thank you.
Thank you for reading my work.
Thank you for supporting my stories.
Thank you for believing in me.
And most importantly—
Thank you for entering the world of The Sire’s Mark for you are now part of the sireborn.
There are secrets beneath Silent Creek.
There are monsters hiding among us.
And Quinn Harper has no idea what she has just awakened.
The mark has been made.
The story has only begun.
With love,
Astra Sterling 🖤
