BOOK ONE OF THE KINDRED’S CURSE SAGA

WHEN OLD SECRETS CATCH FIRE,
EVERYTHING WILL BURN.

***NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, DER SPIEGEL, AND AMAZON TOP 25 BESTSELLER***

In a mortal world colonized by the gods and ruled over by the Descended, their cruel offspring, Diem Bellator yearns to escape the insular life of her poor village.

Her mother’s sudden disappearance—and the discovery of a dangerous secret about her past—offer Diem an unexpected opportunity to enter the dark world of Descended royalty and unlock the web of mysteries her mother left behind.

With the dying King’s handsome, mysterious heir watching her every move, and a ruthless mortal alliance recruiting her to join the growing civil war, Diem will have to navigate the unwritten rules of love, power, and politics in order to save her family—and all of mortalkind.

Spark of the Everflame is the first book in The Kindred's Curse Saga, a four-book epic fantasy romance series. This slow burn, enemies-to-lovers series is perfect for fans of unique magic systems, dragons, angst and romantic tension, and hilarious banter. This book will appeal to fans of plot-heavy, character-driven romantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, From Blood and Ash, Gild, Shadow & Bone, and The Serpent & the Wings of Night.

PRAISE FOR SPARK OF THE EVERFLAME

I literally couldn’t put this down. The characters were wonderful, the world building was there and I felt immersed in almost every scene. There was so much suspense. Penn does a great job at depicting urgency, sadness, all of it.”

Jamie, Reader

“An amazing high fantasy romance with all the elements you hope for! Incredible prose, engaging plot, characters that you love… and ALL the angst. I love that romantic tension! If you loved ACOTAR, FBAA, PP, and similar high fantasy romances, you will LOVE this.

Elle, Reader

“This is without a doubt in my top 5 books from 2023-might even be in the top 5 of all time. I can safely say this is the only book that has ever made me audibly laugh out loud while I was reading. I was never able to predict what was happening next which made me all the more invested in the story.”

Kerry, Reader
