Half a map. Half a lie. Half a heart.
As a pirate captain, Spark prefers burglary over robbery, stealing from powerful merchants in search of the truth behind his father’s death and his family’s demise. Though his grand thefts have always been fruitful, the loot can only pacify his bloodthirsty crew for so long. In danger of losing the loyalty of his men, Spark finally stumbles upon half a map leading to a legendary treasure thought to exist only in the Islands of Myth—the same islands where his father’s remains lay.
A regular stowaway on ships, Brynne hops from one crew to another, searching for a legendary dagger that can undo the curse that has plagued her homeland and the man that’s responsible for the curse. Her quest for vengeance takes a twist when she bumps into Spark, the owner of the dagger she has been searching for. When she discovers Spark’s plan to reach the Islands of Myth, her homeland, Brynne offers him a partnership he can’t refuse.
Hiding their plans and schemes from each other, Spark and Brynne navigate through tempests, treacherous waters, and monsters. Even as each fortifies walls around their hearts, Spark and Brynne find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. But when they finally reach their destination, Brynne vanishes without a trace, leaving the treasure lost and Spark at a crossroads. With his crew’s patience waning, Spark must decide whether to chase the elusive treasure, avenge his father, or unravel the secrets of the woman who stole his heart.
A retelling of The Little Match Girl and The Ice Queen, Of Storms and Wishes is the first installment of Tales of Spark, a sweet nautical fantasy romance inspired by Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, brimming with magical realms, ominous secrets, and perilous adventures.
