Edgy, hard-core, and wildly imaginative, this thriller features an assassin-narrator unlike anyone we've seen before, set in a present-day dystopia. Jacob Underwood is a contract employee of the Special Services Section, a shadow department in the faceless multinational corporation DBG. Jacob is not a businessman; he is a hired assassin, and his job is to neutralize problems deemed unacceptable by the corporation. Suffering from Cotard's syndrome, Jacob perceives himself as nothing but a Shell with no emotion and no sense of right or wrong. Emily Buchanan is a bright young second-year associate for DBG, and she has disappeared without a trace. Suspecting she may have stolen valuable information and a fortune from the company, Jacob's handler assigns him the task of tracking her down and neutralizing her. Jacob's condition allows him to carry out assignments with ruthless, logical precision—devoid of guilt, fear, or dishonor. But as his new assignment draws him inside a labyrinthine network of dark dealings, Jacob finds himself up against something he is completely incapable of understanding. Spark is an ingenious and chilling vision of modern-day humanity under constant, invasive surveillance and a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse.

In the shadows of modern society, an ancient conflict between good and evil unfolds—a life-and-death battle unseen by most, where some strive to control history while others risk everything for freedom and enlightenment. In Los Angeles, brothers Gabriel and Michael Corrigan navigate life 'off the grid,' shaped by their mystical father's stories and intuition. Following his violent death, they remain hidden from the surveillance networks of the modern world. Meanwhile, in London, Maya, a tough young woman, struggles to lead a normal life, concealing her true background. Trained to fight since childhood, she belongs to a lineage tasked with protecting the gifted. When summoned to Prague by her ailing father, she discovers that Gabriel and Michael are in danger and need her protection. However, her father is brutally killed before their meeting, and his last command sends a relentless pursuer after her. As Maya travels to California to find the brothers, an extraordinary chase ensues, leading to a climactic battle that will unveil the secret history of our time.

At the start of the engrossing second entry in the Fourth Realm trilogy, the Brethren continue to control civilization through a computerized information system, the Vast Machine, and a host of offshoot surveillance technologies. Opposed to the Brethren are the Travelers, an ancient clan with the mystical ability to slip in and out of several dimensions. The Travelers are guarded by Halequins, a warrior caste with sharp swords and ferociously lethal skills. In the Cain and Abel story at the book's heart, the quest of two Travelers, brothers Gabriel and Michael Corrigan, to find their legendary father has split them irrevocably: Gabriel fights for the forces of good, Miahael has turned to the dark side
