Publisher's summary

When old secrets catch fire, everything will burn.

In a mortal world colonized by the gods and ruled over by their cruel offspring, the Descended, 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 mortal kind.

Spark of the Everflame is the first book in The Kindred's Curse Saga, a four-book epic fantasy romance series that follows our feisty, bad*ss heroine Diem Bellator in her fight against injustice and oppression, her struggle to survive in a royal palace full of betrayal and intrigue, and her journey of self-discovery and finding true love. This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers series is perfect for fans of unique magic systems, dragons and other mythical creatures, angst and romantic tension, and hilarious banter.

Awesome!

Genuinely so surprised at how great this story was! I was engaged the entire time, the fmc made choices I didn’t agree with but excited to see her grow in the series. The reason it’s not a 5 star was because some parts were predictable and I could tell where the story was heading.
wish the other books were available on audio but will be continuing via kindle!!

Good Story

This was a good book, not a great book. I agree with other reviewers, the MFC is very naive and does not make good decisions. She tends to believe what she is told, instead of learning by what she sees with her own eyes. It is very frustrating as a reader. Even with that being said, it is still a good book. The world building is good, and it is exciting, so I am going to buy the second book in the series. If you are a romantasy lover, I'd still recommend picking up this book to decide for yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed enough to regret listening to it.

Good Storyline but Awful Narrator

I really enjoyed the story and world building but Amanda Dolan has always sounded like a mid 40s woman with a shrilly voice. I don’t mind her narration for male characters but it’s like nails on a chalk board listening to her narrate female characters.

Great Story!

Loved the characters and the mystery. I can predict what is going to happen in most books, but this one got me. Excited to read the second book!

Great new author!

Excellent new author! This is a great series with outstanding storytelling (I even cried at one point, which I never do), detailed world building, and complex characters. Can’t wait for the final book!

Great story & loved the MC

Fans of Throne of Glass will love this! It’s not a copycat though - Good writing & unique content. I liked this better than Fourth Wing.

Good Listen

The Narrator did an awesome job..
the book reminds me of the novel Red Queen and Cruel Prince. I like that it has adventure and magic. I also like the fact that the romance is warming up and not just jumping bones.. I like that the intimacy has some back story.

Con>> some of Diem’s personality traits conflicted with each other.. Diem came off very cocky, believing that she can do something but end up not knowing what she is doing.. “it was annoying”
