Sequim, WA –<\/strong> Evan Kidwell’s debut novel, “Timeaous Spark and the Luck Curse,” is a high-stakes young adult fantasy featuring the immersive world-building of Harry Potter<\/em> and the intensity of The Hunger Games<\/em>.

“Timeaous Spark and the Luck Curse” is the first installment in a new YA fantasy series set in Mythantas, a society where teenagers are forced to endure brutal Trials designed to awaken their hidden powers.
