A Spark in the Shadows
(2024)(The first book in the Light and Shadows series)
A novel by Gem L Preston
A Spark in the Shadows is the first book in a duology full of witty banter, shadow magic, and gripping twists. If you love morally grey heroes, powerful heroines, and dark fantasy with vampires and fae, this is your next read.
Olwyn has spent her life hidden away, kept from the world by parents who claimed she was special—a weapon tied to a witches’ prophecy. When she’s torn from her sheltered life and forced to marry Altair, the vampire king, she’s thrown into a world of secrets and danger.
Altair is haunted by a dark past and determined to protect his kingdom. His marriage to Olwyn is meant to keep her safe from those who seek her power. But when her magic awakens—volatile and dangerous—Altair begins to question whether he can protect her at all.
As Olwyn navigates a world of political intrigue, she finds herself torn between her duty and growing bonds with three very different men: Altair, her enigmatic husband; Iolas, her fiercely loyal guard; and the terrifying king Casius.
With tensions rising between the vampire and human realms, Olwyn’s choices could change everything. Can she control her power before it consumes her—and the world?
