A Spark of White Fire

In "A Spark of White Fire," the first book of a space opera retelling of the Mahabharata, Esmae's victory in a skill contest catalyzes an unwinnable war against her own family. Set in a universe filled with capricious gods and dark moons, the story unfolds as Esmae, raised far from home, aims to return to Kali by competing for a legendary warship, hoping to help her brother reclaim the throne. As her ambitious plan unravels, themes of family, curses, and the struggle between jealousy and love take center stage in this richly imaginative tale.
