Aura Jax has tasted freedom, and now she's coming for those who want to take it away.
Sixteen-year-old Aura Jax has always known her own mind, whether The Society she grew up in knew it or not. Now, after returning to the totalitarian city set against everything she believes in, Aura finds herself in need of an impossible escape.
Betrayed by allies she thought she could trust, she faces her biggest challenge yet: resisting the evil that would steal her power and enslave everyone.
With her father's execution now imminent, Aura's only option is to conspire with people she barely trusts to save The Society from total destruction.
The Spark is the second book in the electrifying 'Aura Jax' YA dystopian series. If you like futuristic realms, intriguing twists, and dynamic characters, then you’ll love R. J. Wade’s thrilling adventure.
R. J. Wade is a YA author from the North East of England. A lifelong book‑lover inspired by the likes of Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton and R. L. Stine, she grew up writing short stories, comics and poems before finding her creative voice through indie rock—with her music taking her across Europe, the USA and Japan.
She eventually turned her storytelling back to fiction, creating the Aura Jax trilogy: Aura, The Spark, and Wildfire, a dystopian urban‑fantasy saga exploring totalitarianism, resistance, and the rise of AI. Fans compare her work to The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Red Queen and The Maze Runner.
When she isn’t writing, Becky divides her life between cross‑fitting, travelling, and connecting with readers in her Readers Group. Visit www.RJWadeBooks.com to download your free Aura 'Extras' PDF and sign up for the group.
