Synopses & Reviews
A prince with a quest, a beautiful commoner with mysterious powers, and dragons who demand to be freedat any cost
Filled with the potent mix of the supernatural and romance that made A Discovery of Witches a runaway success, Moth and Spark introduces readers to a vibrant worldand a love story they wont soon forget.
Prince Corin has been chosen to free the dragons from their bondage to the power Mycenean Empire, but dragons arent big on directions. They have given him some of their power, but none of their knowledge. No one, not the dragons nor their riders, is even sure what keeps the dragons in the Empires control. Tam, sensible daughter of a well-respected doctor, had no idea before she arrived in Caithenor that she is a Seer, gifted with visions. When the two run into each other (quite literally) in the library, sparks fly and Corin impulsively asks Tam to dinner. But its not all happily ever after. Never mind that the prince isnt allowed to marry a commoner: war is coming. Torn between his quest to free the dragons and his duty to his country, Tam and Corin must both figure out how to master their powers in order to save Caithen. With a little help from a village of secret wizards and rogue dragonrider, they just might pull it off.
Review
“Fun and beautifully crafted. The novel is something like a Russian nesting doll: its a Jane Austen novel inside a Princess Bride type fantasy romp inside a much darker Tolkein-esque story of politics, war, magic, and dragons. An impressive debut.” - Charlie Lovett, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookmans Tale
