Arcing Spark - Bloodspark Series, #1

Remember being eighteen?
 

Remember being convinced everyone else had a plan?

Remember wondering whether there was something fundamentally wrong with you because everyone else seemed to know who they were?

Kal is going through that right now.

She's broke, directionless, grieving her parents, and one minor inconvenience away from telling everyone exactly what she thinks of them.

Kal is definitely not the chosen one.

Unfortunately, everyone seems to want her to be.

After a chance encounter with Ida—a rich girl with bright hair, terrible boundaries, and a habit of dragging people into abandoned buildings—Kal finds herself pulled into a hidden world of blood magic, secret societies, family dynasties, and people who keep insisting she's important.

Kal would love to ignore all of it.

But the deeper she digs into the mystery surrounding her parents' deaths, the harder it becomes to walk away.

Especially when Ida starts feeling less like a distraction and more like the answer.
 

Which would be a lot less concerning if Ida weren't keeping secrets of her own.

As old loyalties, buried truths, and impossible expectations collide, Kal must decide who she wants to be—and whether belonging somewhere is worth the price of letting other people define her.

Arcing Spark is for readers who:

• spent their twenties having an identity crisis
• still aren't entirely sure it ended
• like queer fantasy with more emotional baggage than sword fights
• think "secret magical society" sounds suspiciously like "cult with paperwork"
• enjoy romances where communication is a recurring casualty

A queer urban fantasy about grief, identity, belonging, first love, and the dangerous appeal of being told you're special when you've spent your whole life feeling invisible.

Dark, sapphic, and emotionally charged, Arcing Spark is the first book in the Bloodspark Series — a story of grief, found family, and magic that always comes at a cost.
