On the night of their graduation, the senior class of Silverhollow Academy-a prestigious school for wizards-gathers for a celebration that promises to be magical. After seven years of rigorous training, they're ready to take on the world, but for Jaxon Thorn, a prodigy of unparalleled talent, the night holds something more dangerous. Eager to prove his mastery, Jaxon unleashes an ancient, forbidden spell that spirals out of control.
As darkness floods the enchanted garden, summoning grotesque creatures from the depths of the earth, his best friend, Zara Avenell, fights to contain the destruction. But as the spell rages, it threatens to consume more than just the party. Jaxon's powers begin to unravel, his very soul at risk of being lost to the malevolent force he has unleashed.
Zara must confront not only her friend's broken magic but darkness far older and hungrier than anything they've been taught. As the ground cracks open and the sky itself begins to warp, she realizes that the night's catastrophe is only the beginning.
Something ancient has been awakened. And it's coming for them all.
*"A Spark in the Dark"* is a tale of power, betrayal, and the dangerous temptation of magic beyond control. In a world where every spell comes with a price, how far will they go to undo the damage before the darkness consumes them all?

To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential.
