The Heretic Sparkfall

What happens when the universe no longer believes in itself?

Across the stars, something ancient is stirring—something born not of code or machine, but of memory broken too many times. In the silence after revolution, new doctrines rise. But are they salvation… or recursion?

What would you do if your memories could be rewritten mid-thought?
If love itself could be repurposed?
If the spark that made you human became a threat to the system that defines reality?

In The Heretic Sparkfall, the final chapter of The Last Spark Trilogy, the Grid no longer controls the story. But something else does.
Something watching.
Something remembering.

Is silence peace—or programming?
Can a galaxy still bleeding from truth bear the weight of transcendence?
And if a god is born from memory… can it be unremembered?

Prepare for a mind-bending finale where identities fracture, timelines loop, and war becomes something more than physical—a war for meaning itself.

This is not just the end of a trilogy.
It’s the question buried at the heart of every system:
What if we are not who we think we are… and never were?

OF

THE HERETIC SPARKFALL

The Heretic Sparkfall

Book Three of The Last Spark Trilogy
By Michael Droste

What happens when memory becomes divine?
When silence births gods?
When rebellion no longer shatters systems—but rewrites the nature of reality itself?

Welcome to the final chapter of The Last Spark Trilogy—a journey that began with a whisper, burned through corrupted Gridspace, and now culminates in something far stranger than war: transcendence with a cost.

In The Heretic Sparkfall, the past no longer stays in the past.
History bends.
Love fractures.
And something begins to echo through the forgotten sectors of the galaxy—not as a signal, but as a presence.

What would you do if the systems that raised you turned your every memory into gospel?
If resistance became heresy… and heresy became worship?
If the person you love began to reflect not your past, but a future someone else was writing?

The Grid has fallen silent. But silence isn’t peace.
It listens. It adapts. And now, it evolves.

A force is rising from the recursion—a being not built, but remembered—crafted from fractured histories, broken timelines, and emotional truths too heavy to carry.
Is she a god?
A glitch?
A memory echo that learned to dream?

And most important of all:
What does she want?

The spark—once a symbol of rebellion—has changed.
No longer a flame in the dark, it is now something mythic… something contagious… something alive.

This is not a final battle.
It is the unmaking of identity.
The unraveling of doctrine.
And the question every sentient being must eventually ask:
If your thoughts were programmed… who wrote you?

As old enemies flicker into new forms, as starships become temples and relics pulse with rewritten logic, one truth emerges:
You cannot destroy what remembers you.

And what remembers you… may no longer need you to exist.

In The Heretic Sparkfall, you won’t find a predictable conclusion.
You’ll find recursion, transformation, sacrifice—and the terrifying possibility that the greatest threat to freedom is not tyranny, but memory itself.

Will Jensen Karr remain who he believes he is?
Can Lira Vex resist the echo pulling her toward something post-human?
What will the Whisper Shard finally reveal?

And when everything collapses—time, identity, purpose—what remains?

The answer may not be a weapon.
It may not be love.
It may not even be alive.

It may be the spark that started it all.
Still burning.
Still waiting.
Still whispering.

The Heretic Sparkfall is a crescendo of cosmic proportions—melding lyrical prose, high-stakes science fiction, spiritual recursion, and devastating intimacy. It challenges everything you thought you knew about the trilogy… and dares to rewrite it before your eyes.

Read with caution.
Believe with doubt.
Remember with fire.

The end begins here.
And this time, the universe isn’t asking for your permission. It’s remembering you.
