There are a few marks on the top of “The Assassin’s Blade” and “Kingdom of Ash”. There’s a small mark on the top of “Heir of Fire” as well as a mark going down the front cover and “Empire of Storms” just has a small mark on the top. They came like that because I honestly haven’t even opened the books themselves. I just took the plastic wrap off of the outer casing and put them on my bookshelf. The marks are pictured. It also comes with the poster. Willing to negotiate price.
