Marked (House of Night, #1)

by P.C. Cast

“But I’m sixteen! I can’t even parallel-park! How am I supposed to know how to be your eyes and ears?”

I want you to live as you would be remembered if you would die tomorrow, because you might. Then if you do die your spirit can rest peacefully knowing that you leave behind an honorable memory. If you do not die, then you will have set the foundation for a long life rich with integrity.”
