Sparks
Cover Re-Release Day Extravaganza!
"Everyone in
the world has a Spark, a light inside that guides them,
keeps them alive.”
Myxini School for Children specializes in training young
men and women who have powerful Sparks. Strikers are taught
to manipulate fire.
Trackers learn to find animals in the most formidable
terrains. Handlers are
instructed in communication with large predators. But forty
years have passed
since the last time they had a Reader – a student with the
ability to read
minds.
When Lark Davies enrolls at Myxini, he knows there aren’t
many like him, but he doesn’t realize just how rare his
abilities really are.
He thinks nothing of being asked to keep his Spark a secret;
after all, he can
barely control it. Thoughts and emotions flood unbidden into
his mind until he
can scarcely walk or hold a conversation. But just when he
needs it most, his
ability fails him.
Lark meets Khea, a small frightened girl who mysteriously
ignites his protective nature. He has no explanation for the
curious strength
of their relationship, and it doesn’t help that she is one
of the few people in
the world whose thoughts can’t be read. As he struggles to
get to the root of
their unique bond, Lark begins to unravel more power than
even his mentor
expected, but in the process makes himself a target to
political leaders eager
to take control.

Teaser:
Wearing only my loose brown pants, I
crawled into the
most comfortable bed I had ever known and sank into the soft
down pillows. I
had just started to drift off when I heard a knock at the
door. I’m
going to kill
Avis.
“What do you–” I started until I
realized it wasn’t
Avis. It was a stunning blonde with blue eyes. Khea.
“I’m sorry to wake you. I just– I
had to see you.” Her
arms moved to wrap around my waist and hold me tight as I
questioned if I was
really sleeping or
not.
“Uh, do you want to come in?” We
both knew the rules
about being in someone else’s room after hours, so I pulled
her in and sat down
on the edge of the bed, still a little surprised she was
there.
In the dim light her hair looked a little darker, but
her face was still sweet and there was no denying that the
last two years had
done her well. Who would have thought such a beautiful young
woman would come
from that skinny little girl in
Lagodon?
“How’d you know I was back?” I asked
her, trying to
appear less tired or shocked than I
was.
“A friend told
me.”
“I didn’t think you–” Cared? It
wasn’t the right word,
but I was beyond amazed that she was interested in my
whereabouts. I hadn’t
seen her since that night at the Moonwater and it had
changed everything for me
since then. But for her, I wasn’t aware that she had been
affected in any
way.
“Ride with me
tomorrow?”
“Uh, yea, of course.” It was a
struggle to cover how
little I wanted to wait. I would have given anything to have
her stay.
A wide smile erupted across her
sweet lips as she
said, “meet me at the lake at noon.” With a lingering kiss
on my cheek, she
walked back through the door and disappeared into the dark
stone corridor.
What
just happened? I hadn’t seen her in
person in years, and we were hardly close before that. And
now she arrived in
my room in the middle of the night and kissed me on the
cheek. Was it a kiss
like a friend would give another? Or more? I couldn’t make
any sense of it, but
there was only thing I was sure of. I would be at the lake
at noon if it was
the last thing I
did.
