eBook by Timothy McGowen

Status unknown2022

In the magical world of the Wyrd, only those with the Spark can be adventurers — diving into dungeons, collecting epic loot, and leveling up by gathering essence. Caldor is several years past the age when most people discover they are Sparked, but that doesn't stop him from wishing. When his hunt goes sideways and he discovers he can harness the power of the Sparked, Caldor is ready to battle his way to the top. But magic, adventure, and a dose of unwanted politics await — and the world has far greater plans for him than a simple adventuring life.
