Spark of Pursuit
by Annika Snow
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A vigilante heiress and an immortal detective discover they are soulbound — except he is trying to arrest her alter ego. The identity-concealment twist on fated mates is fresh, the banter crackles, and the urban fantasy worldbuilding of Veilfall is genuinely inventive.
Synopsis
Catching a vigilante sounds simple… until you find out that vigilante is your soulbound . Aravenna Kalladine isn’t just used to keeping secrets; she is one. Publicly, she’s the jilted heir of the world’s largest anti-magic arms company, as Mortal as her late parents and those they protected from dangerous Immortals. But privately, Ara’s guarding a truth that could bring that legacy crumbling she has magic . And when a shipment of dangerous weaponry is stolen, she’s forced to put her secret at risk—so long as nobody sees her face. Detective Graydon Marr doesn’t believe the rumours. Tasked with recovering Kalla Technologies’ missing weapons, he doesn’t have time to worry about spark-wielding vigilantes. But when he comes face-to-mask with the woman herself, something deeper than intrigue clicks between them. The vigilante is his soulbound—a rare, fated love Graydon’s spent centuries believing he wouldn’t find. Even worse? She’s a suspect. As the two navigate the treacherous snows of Veilfall, a city of clashing magic and deadly tech, their search for the missing weapons not only reveals a terrorist plot, but pulls them closer. What starts as a flirtatious game of cat-and-mouse soon builds to a high-stakes pursuit fuelled by feelings they can no longer ignore. But if Graydon wants to learn his soulbound’s identity, he must confront his loyalties and earn her trust. And if Ara wants to finally shed the scars of her clandestine childhood and get her happy ending, she’ll have to face the hardest question of all: Can Graydon Marr love the woman behind the mask?
