Livia Blackburne’s Rosemarked duology is set in a world ravaged by the rose plague, a disease that either kills or leaves survivors permanently marked. Zivah is a healer who has been rosemarked, giving her a limited time before the disease claims her. She is sent on a covert mission with Dineas, a soldier from the enemy Ampara empire, creating an enemies-to-allies dynamic complicated by mutual distrust and growing attraction.

Umbertouched continues the story as full-scale war erupts. Blackburne draws on her neuroscience background for the plague’s effects on memory and personality, adding unusual depth to the fantasy worldbuilding.
