Lindsay McCafferty has been writing since she knew enough words to construct stories. After developing mental illness, she combined her passion with her torment. She hopes the tales and characters in the Sparks Shall Rise series will inspire others to find the courage and determination to rise above their struggles, even if it seems impossible.

The Sparks Shall Rise book series is about the main heroes and heroines overcoming internal struggles within the realm of epic fantasy. There will be a wide cast of human and animal characters. You can think of the series as being more like The Chronicles of Narnia.
