The Spark Chronicles

In his mother’s last letter, she wrote, “Find me. Save me.” And Will Kwan had heard those words before. He’d heard them in a video game. Solar Prime Augmented Reality Park, or SPARK, is a theme park for gamers: a sprawling virtual reality complex with quests and games that appeal to all ages. But beneath the surface, SPARK harbors many a secret. When sixteen-year-old Will has to escape the foster system, SPARK is his destination. “Find me. Save me.” What had his mother meant?

WB and Feral have survived the attack on SPARK, but the terrorists are not through. Forces intent on stealing the technology behind Black Grass and the AI necessary to make it work are on the move again. As WB and Feral attempt to return to their normal lives, they realize that the enemy will never quit until they have the tech or SPARK itself is destroyed. Flying below the radar kept them safe before, but increased notoriety works against the two as everyone from the FBI to gang members know who they are. Now, local bureaucrats, terrorists, and even fans intrude on the gamers’ lives.

Will “WonderBoy” Kwan and ShaChri “Feral Daughter” Patel take a well-earned break from their real-life troubles to quest in SPARK for a day. They have a peaceful day planned. They’ll spend the morning exploring OrcLand where Will is convinced alternate solutions exist and then hit Into the Monolith in the afternoon. They enter the park holding hands and realizing that they are in love. It should be a perfect day. Morrigan, the AI, has other thoughts. For their relationship to survive the war that she sees coming, Will and Feral must be tested. The test starts today.
