Fantasy, Lore, & More: Spark of the Divine

Hi, I'm indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Louise Holland is joining me to talk about her book, Spark of the Divine.

What's it about?

  • As a mercenary Divine wielding strange gifts, Mae uncovers a plot to steal divinity from the gods themselves. When the god she serves is attacked, Mae must restore their power before the seven realms descend into chaos. Embarking with her crew on a quest beyond their kingdom, each harbors their own agenda while romance and betrayal threaten to tear them apart.

  • Originally inspired by a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, Spark of the Divine is the first book in The Kalaraak Chronicles series following reluctant heroes battling an evil that could upend the divine order. 

What's in this episode:

  • Louise Holland will whisk us away to her fantastical world with an excerpt from Spark of the Divine, spotlighting the high stakes and dynamics between characters.

  • We'll discuss the inspiration from her D&D storytelling roots that sparked this epic fantasy series. 

  • We'll explore the rich world of realms, gods, and Divines bound together through belief and sacrifice.

  • Join us in a realm where the fate of gods hangs by a thread, and mortal heroes may be all that can restore the divine spark.

Epic Fantasy Adventures with Melinda Kucsera
I am Melinda Kucsera, an indie fantasy author and I narrate chapters from my adventure books, talk about other fantasy books and shows and try my best not to get derailed by the shenanigans of characters who are supposed to be fictional, but they don't stay within the pages of my books. I tell all their secrets and what trouble they get into in between books.
