''Scarred'' is a dark royal romance novel in the ''Never After'' series written by Creator/EmilyMcIntire, published in 2022.

Tristan Faasa has been outcasted by noble peers, more so now that his brother Michael has been crowned king after their father's death. He has a reputation as "the scarred prince" because of his scar and rumored to be unhinged. However, he plans to undermine his brother and claim the throne for himself.

Sara Beatreaux is arranged to marry Michael, with the intent of improving her homeland's standing with the new king and ensure the security of Gloria Terra. However, she carries pain in her heart from losing her father, and she isn't going along with the marriage just for political reasons.

As intrigue and tensions run high, Sara and Tristan can't stay away from one another. Everything they do will determine the fate of the kingdom and their lives.

!!''Scarred'' contains the following examples:

* ArrangedMarriage: Sara is arranged to marry the newly crowned king, Michael, by her uncle Raf.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Tristan tells Sara that he got his scar [[spoiler:because Michael struck his face with a poker while bullying him]].
* AFamilyAffair: Even though Sara was meant to marry Michael, she becomes more emotionally involved with Tristan.
* SiblingRivalry: Tristan and Michael have been at odds with one another since childhood, the former often bullied by the latter.
