The Spark

100 years after the Great Meltdown, where almost all the electronics in the world spontaneously malfunctioned and caught fire all at once, the world had become a technology-free paradise. The people lived the life of those who'd lived over a thousand years ago in the 18th and 19th centuries. Electronics are outlawed, and the people have discovered magic as a substitute. This is the world that Iris Matthews was born into in 2920. Now 17, Iris has developed an unquenchable thirst for knowledge about what life was like before the Great Meltdown, but talk of it is forbidden, as well any books about it. Her parents push her to forget her silly curiosity and start thinking about marriage, no matter how many times she says she doesn't like her suitors.
But one day her life changes forever when she finds Desdemon, a handsome cyborg who was made illegally and is on the run from the police. Against her better judgement, Iris takes him in, hoping he'll be able to tell her about life before the Meltdown. What she doesn't plan on, however, is falling in love.
