The Shadow Spark
THE MACHINES THAT RULE THE PLANET WANT HIM DEAD.
THE REBELLION WANTS HIM CONTROLLED.
AND THE TRUTH OF WHAT HE IS MAY SAVE THE WORLD — OR DAMN IT.
When the Veil—a parallel dimension that sustained humanity for half a century—suddenly goes dark, all hell breaks loose. And those who turned the lights back on weren’t human, but machine.
Two years later, Dante Stelling awakes in the ruins of his hometown. As if that weren’t bad enough, he has no memory of the Glorian conquest or why the shapeshifting robots that now rule the country are hunting him. Instead, he has a head full of hallucinations, haunting visions of something ancient stirring, and a strange metal spine fused to his back. Seeking safety and sanity, Dante makes a pilgrimage to join a secret rebel force known as the Ark. There he learns his spine is more than metal—it's a weapon that could turn the tide of the war.
But when Dante uncovers a truth that shatters everything he believes about the enemy, the rebellion, and himself, he must lead a desperate crusade through the Glorian ranks to stop an apocalypse already in motion. Can he survive long enough to uncover the terrifying truth and stop the end of humanity without losing his own in the process?
