The Sparks of Dissent (The Sparkgazer Saga, #2)

ABANDONED BY FRIENDS. SURROUNDED BY FOES.
NOT GIVING AN INCH.

After Brina Springtide's daring attack on God's Maul prison, the empire's merciless grip tightens around every throat in the Sundered Isles. A budding rebellion is forced into the shadows. Alone, Brina hunts the nighttime streets of Doorstep's Ditch, where imperial spies lurk at every corner. When she intercepts secret orders revealing the Cardinal's imminent assault on Bior, the rebellion's strongest ally, Brina races against time to rally an army that can withstand the empire's tidal wave.

Bior trembles as darkhelm battalions sweep across bloodstained shores in overwhelming numbers. Trapped between prophecies of doom and darkhelm maces, Brina and her scattered forces face certain death. With their backs against the sea and the empire's crimson banners blotting out the sun, they must make their final stand an impossible battle against an enemy that has never known defeat.
