"Carve the Mark," by Veronica Roth, Katherine Tegan, 480 pages, $22.99. Fights to the death are memorialized by carving a slash in one's arm. This current is "an invisible power that gives people abilities and can be channeled into ships, machines, weapons, etc." Similar to the "Star Wars" lightsabers, the weapon of choice in Roth's galaxy is the currentblade. "Star Wars" has the "Force," and "Carve the Mark" has "the current." Everything in the galaxy is powered by the current, which is explained as a natural phenomenon that powers the universe. In "Carve the Mark," people are judged by their "currentgift" which imbues them with certain powers or abilities. In "Divergent," individuals are forced into factions to prevent them from exercising free will. Cyra's male counterpart and eventual love interest is Akos Kereseth, the gentle son of a farmer and an oracle. With the addition of two powerful new voices, Veronica Roth’s sequel to Carve the Mark is a chorus of hope, humor, faith, and resilience.Following in the footsteps of young warrior heroines like Tris Prior ("Divergent"), Katniss Everdeen ("The Hunger Games"), Rey ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") and Jyn Erso ("Rogue One: A Star Wars Story") is Cyra Noavek, the teenage lead in "Carve the Mark." Cyra's brother Ryzek is the cruel tyrant who rules the Shotet people on the planet Thuvhe. In a stunning twist, the two will discover how fate defines their lives in ways most unexpected.

For Cyra, that could mean taking the life of the man who may-or may not-be her father. As Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek-a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead-reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever. Akos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. The fates, once determined, are inescapable. The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births.
