One Spark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781965607008)

In a world where emotions create literal powers, a family fights to stay together, while secrets pull their world apart.

Join Benjamin and Jemma Hodgerton as they navigate parenthood in this closed-door adult dystopian urban fantasy by debut author Holly D. Morgan.

Emotions are a vital piece of life. That is, except for Disparates, whose emotions could literally be the death of them.

One hundred years after the Rain of Fire, those that survived the nuclear war split into seven Republics. In the research-driven Republic of Stillfield, parents Ben and Jemma Hodgerton need to make a choice for their oldest after the age limit for Enertin is lowered. Medicating would give him the life they desperately want, while minimizing the risk of becoming engulfed in flames.

It seems like an easy decision, until a false accusation rips the family apart. Throwing them onto separate paths that leave them questioning what, and who, they can trust. One thing they do know: they'll do anything to be back in each other's arms. If an ocean can't keep them apart, perhaps a plot devised to rid the world of Disparates will.

Unlikely allies, unexpected plans, and past trauma all collide in this dystopian world. But the real question is:

When a brain is wired differently, is it right to change it?
