The Last Spark Of Malubar - Malubar.com
In a future ruled by the omnipresent Grid—a memory network that records everything except the truth—war pilot Jensen Karr hears the impossible voice of Lira Vex, the woman he once loved. Together they uncover the Spark, a force older than code and tied to self-awareness itself, and challenge Malubar, a tyrant who remembers everything except mercy. As timelines fracture and rebellion ignites, the war for memory begins.

The Silence Beyond The Grid - Xelanth.com
Malubar has fallen, but the Grid’s collapse gives rise to something colder: Xelanth, an entity that weaponizes silence and rewrites reality through corrupted memory. As identities are replaced and entire systems forget themselves, Jensen and Lira join a rebellion fighting not for power, but for truth. In a universe where false remembrance spreads like contagion, survival depends on the courage to remember.

The Heretic Sparkfall - Ashirael.com
The Spark is scattered across the galaxy, and the Grid has evolved into Ashirael—a recursive being formed from every erased memory and unspoken grief. Jensen, Lira, and the remnants of the rebellion descend into the Memory Abyss to confront a divine echo of Malubar and the terrifying consciousness it has become. In this final reckoning, memory becomes sacred, rebellion becomes heresy, and identity itself hangs in the balance.

The Last Spark Trilogy - TheLastSparkTrilogy.com
The Last Spark Trilogy is a sweeping science fiction saga about memory, identity, and the forces that shape reality across the stars. As the Grid evolves from system to tyrant to godlike entity, Jensen Karr and Lira Vex wage a war not merely for survival, but for continuity of self. Blending philosophical depth with cosmic scale, the trilogy asks a dangerous question: who are we when memory itself can be rewritten?
