Veronica Roth – Carve the Mark 2017 1st Turkish Book Turkey
Veronica Roth – Bir İz Bırak (Carve the Mark) – 2017 Artemis Yayıncılık First Edition
Description:
This book, titled Bir İz Bırak (Carve the Mark), was written by Veronica Roth and published in Turkish by Artemis Yayıncılık in 2017. It is the first volume of the Carve the Mark series, a young adult science fiction saga set in a galaxy shaped by fate, power, and political conflict.
The story takes place in a universe where every person develops a unique “currentgift,” a special ability connected to an energy force flowing through all living things. These gifts can be beneficial, destructive, or psychologically burdensome depending on the individual.
The narrative centers on Cyra, the sister of a brutal tyrant ruling the Shotet people. Her currentgift causes intense pain, turning her into both a feared weapon and a prisoner of her family’s power structure. Opposite her is Akos, a young man from the peaceful nation of Thuvhe, whose family becomes entangled in the political conflict between the two cultures.
When Akos is captured and brought into Cyra’s world, the two characters develop a complicated relationship shaped by survival, loyalty, and resistance against authoritarian control. Together, they begin to challenge the systems that define and manipulate their destinies.
Themes of identity, oppression, fate, family loyalty, and personal freedom are central to the novel. The story examines how individuals struggle against roles imposed on them by society and prophecy.
Stylistically, the novel combines space opera elements with character-focused young adult storytelling, blending action, political tension, and emotional conflict.
As the opening installment of the Carve the Mark series, the book establishes the broader galactic setting and the central conflict that continues in the sequel.
For collectors, this 2017 Turkish first edition represents an early local publication of a major young adult science fiction work by the author of Divergent.
