SPARKTOPIA COVER REVEAL

I’m so happy to finally present to you the cover for my fall Romantasy release, SPARKTOPIA!

This book is angsty to the point of hyperventilation, spicy, a little bit dark, and, of course, overflowing with morally grey characters and plot twists! There are four first-person points of view, three different story lines, two new worlds to explore, and NO CLIFFHANGER.

I worked on this cover for about a year. The book had a different title when I first started writing it because I always have a title before I start writing because it just helps me with world building. But about half way through writing it, this word, SPARKTOPIA, made an innocent appearance as graffiti on a ceiling. I don’t even know where it came from because I was just type-type-typing away one morning and this image on the ceiling didn’t mean anything at the time. I only mentioned it to build up the atmosphere of the tower in which the scene takes place because graffiti on the ceiling implies a certain type of living space and this was the feel I was going for.

But as soon as I wrote it, I knew it was my title. And then, because I had already made several iterations of the cover with the original title, I immediately went back into Photoshop and came up with this. I worked on it for a couple months afterward–just kind of moving certain elements around, and trying to find the right hands and how I wanted to display the Spark, and then I had to find a font to make all those symbols on the arms. So it took a while to get to the finish line, but the very day I came up with the new title I KNEW what this cover looked like. I just had to find a way to bring it into reality.

So I hope you love it as much as I do. 🙂

BY THE WAY –  There is no pre-order yet, I don’t expect that to go up for a couple more months, BUT IF YOU ARE AN INFLUENCER ON NETGALLEY, the ARC will be available to request very soon. AND – there will be a SPECIAL EDITION PRE-SALE BOX with the INCREDIBLE, ILLUSTRATED PAPERBACK available to ARC readers as well. 

Spark is light, Spark is magic, Spark is power.

Spark is everything and it blooms inside the bodies of Tau City’s young women. Once a decade, in exchange for enough power to keep the city modern and comfortable, a Spark Maiden must be sacrificed to their mysterious tower god in a ritual called The Extraction. 

Ten Maidens are Chosen, but only one enters the tower as a sacrifice, never to be seen again. The nine leftovers are elevated to celebrity status and spend the next decade living in the luxurious Maiden Tower, wearing couture gala gowns, and partying with the city’s most interesting and beautiful people. Every young woman in Tau City wants to be a Spark Maiden because the odds have always been in their favor.

Until now.

One by one, the greedy god has summoned the leftover Spark Maidens into sacrifice. When Clara Birch, Spark Maiden number nine, gets the call, she fully expects her fiancé, Finn Scott, the Extraction Master’s son, to save her.

Spoiler alert: He’s not going to. 

At the same time, a rebellion is brewing. The forgotten underclass is plotting the end of the god and his tower with strategically-placed Rebel spies that will bring it all down. Jasina Bell is a young woman on a mission to make history and she will stop at nothing to get the fame she deserves.

When Clara is forced into the tower against her will, she makes an unexpected discovery.

There is no god—just a man, one willing to do what Finn Scott wouldn’t:

Save Clara Birch. 

Even if it means destroying the entire world to do so.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
