The Last Spark at the Edge

Aurora Spark Aurelien inherited three things when her father died: a noble title, a mountain of debt, and a territory that seems actively trying to fall apart before she can even step through the gate. The manor has a tree growing through the chimney. The guard captain commands a grand total of four guards. Something out in the wilderness is eating the scarecrows. And her one remaining servant finds all of it charming, which is either deeply reassuring or deeply concerning — Aurora hasn't decided which. At fifteen, pulled out of her noble academy the moment the tuition money ran out, she's not remotely qualified to fix any of this. She's going to try anyway. What she doesn't know yet: the neighbor who quietly stopped helping, the crown that's about to send a stranger to watch over her shoulder, and the reason her father really died — none of it stopped when the funeral did. A comedic light novel about rebuilding a ruined barony one disaster at a time, with a much darker story waiting underneath the jokes.
