Ray Owlers & The Red Sparks (ENGLISH VERSION)

Ray Owlers and the Red Sparks by Luigi Formola is a young adult adventure that weaves together mystery, fantasy, and secrets buried in time. In the city of BlackBay Side, where night reigns supreme and dreaming is a crime, its inhabitants appear to live long and peaceful lives under the order imposed by Queen Adelia. Yet behind this façade of calm, curiosity and rebellion are dangerous, and even the memory of the past can trigger catastrophe.

Ray Owlers is an apparently ordinary fifteen-year-old who tries to stay away from trouble and from dangerous questions. However, his fate is tied to a family with a dark past-the Bodyens-banished from the city after a revolt thirteen years earlier. When an unusual and inexplicable apparition leads him to uncover mysterious clues hidden within books, Ray becomes entangled in a web of secrets that spans generations, involving enigmatic classmates, siblings who hide unsettling truths, and shadowy figures moving unseen.

Among coded riddles, ancient books, long-extinct animals, and a world where every choice can have unexpected consequences, Ray must confront the weight of his family's history and the fragile boundary between reality and dreams. Through friendship, courage, and the hidden strength of family bonds, this story explores what it means to find light in the darkness and hope in troubled times. An intense and gripping adventure that captures both mind and heart, drawing readers into a city where mystery lurks around every corner and nothing is quite as it seems.
