Synopsis

Life was going great – right up until Tara died.

She’d always expected that to be it. Death is final, after all. But when she reaches the afterlife, she’s instead presented with a destiny she’d never bargained for. Instead of reincarnating to begin a new life as a human, she’s been selected as a candidate for godhood. If she can claw her way to divinity, she’ll be the first new blood to stand amid the old pantheons in ages.

Lucky her.

Thrown into the dubious situation of establishing herself as a fledgling goddess in a cruel, skeptical world, Tara clings to the task she’s been given: Kill an aging, ancient deity, and take her place. Not everyone will be happy to see her, and not everyone will approve of her smashing through celestial society like a wrecking ball.

Giving up means laying down and accepting oblivion, though – and that’s something Tara refuses to do. She’ll have her birthright, and she’ll have her name.

And then Terra will rise again.

Spark of Divinity contains strong language and content that may be traumatic, with themes around death and overcoming hardship..

Standing at the top of Yosemite is the warrior king Vince, a Ranger turned city state ruler. Supporting him in his endeavors is his inner circle.

The Mad General has traversed them all, from one end to the other.
What lies ahead?
The road to the Land of the Immortals.
And everything that embarking upon this path will bring with it.

After all, even in the truly vast Nameless World, it is still possible to find that final border, the true end of the road. But if anyone thinks that this will cause the General to falter, make him lower his sword, they are mistaken...
