Synopsis

A world ravaged by the Shadow Blight is crumbling before our eyes.
City after city is swallowed, their very stones twisted into wastelands, while the survivors slip into madness. In this dying realm only one Spark remains―Elara.

Gifted with the rare Life-Giving Spark, she alone can cleanse the Blight. Hope clings to her―hope to be rescued, or used. When Elara is seized by the armies of the Dark Overlord, she is taken to Nocturne, the enemy’s citadel. There rules Lord Caeden, a ruthless warlord who commands both blade and the fate of thousands. Yet even he cannot remain unmoved by the girl whose power could either save or shatter their world.

Caught between darkness and light, captivity and freedom, duty and desire, Elara must forge her own path. Her heart wavers between fear and attraction, between faith in the good and an acceptance of the darkness with which she must now bargain. Within this fraught alliance begins not merely a war of magic, but a battle for souls―her own, and the man who holds her prisoner.

Spark in the Dark is a tale of inner transformation in which romance is born not in spite of pain, but through it. Love here is no deliverance but an ordeal, and magic is not a miracle but a cost. Every breath is laden with both gloom and hope, and the choices of the characters may alter the very fabric of the world.

“When the enemy becomes the only one who knows your pain―that is when true romantasy begins.”

“For devotees of slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, and emotional roller-coasters set firmly to choose me or perish.”

À propos de l'auteur

Astrid Lovell was born in 1997 in Prague's Mala Strana quarter to Ukrainian parents who restored icons and Gothic interiors, seeing the city from an early age as a stage where towering spires share space with legends of the Golem. This heritage shaped her narrative voice, prompting her to craft romantic fantasy in which the everyday landscape of Old Europe slips naturally into hidden magic.Now residing near the Vltava, Astrid drafts in quiet cafés at dawn and finds that evening walks through Prague let her "hear the stories stones keep." Fluent in Czech, English and German, she blends Eastern and Western influences with ease, building worlds where passion and wonder feel like an organic part of urban life.
