When their unusual circumstances bring them together, Cyra and Akos learn to love each other despite their differences.

Akos does not like killing because he grew up in the more peaceful Thuvhe where violence was not celebrated. ![]() In the novel Carve the Mark by Victoria Roth, both Cyra and Akos are ashamed of the kill marks they have carved on their arms, marks considered honors by the rest of the Shotet community in which they reside.
