THE SPARKS OF FIRST WARMTH
Before love became complicated, there was the first spark.
Welcome to the younger side of Seloria Quen.
The Sparks of First Warmth is a young adult fantasy-romance collection about strange worlds, impossible people, and the first terrifyingly wonderful moment when someone realizes:
Oh. I think they see me.
These stories keep the emotional heart of The Records of Lingering Warmth—monsters, magic, wounds, compassion, and love that reaches people where they are—but explore those feelings through first love, discovery, wonder, and becoming.
Expect tender monsters. Brave girls. Awkward affection. Magical places. Found family. First kisses. Hard-earned trust. And the kind of romance that makes you close the book for a second because it was simply too sweet.
Monster boys who are much softer than they look • magical girls with minds of their own • enchanted forests • moonlight and starlight • sweet romantic tension • fantasy creatures • first love • emotional healing • cozy wonder • relationships built on kindness
These books are not simplified versions of the adult Seloria stories.
They are their own stories.
The wounds are real. The choices matter. The characters must still earn their happiness.
But here, there is room for something precious:
the wonder of experiencing love for the first time.
Some wounds need more than magic.
Sixteen-year-old Maren and seventeen-year-old moth-fey Marvin meet at an age when neither of them has finished becoming who they are. Between fragile wings, difficult truths, and the strange tenderness of being truly noticed, something begins to grow between them.
Not a love that fixes everything.
A love that gives two young people somewhere safe enough to begin healing.
Brewed for Broken Wings opens The Sparks of First Warmth—Seloria Quen’s young adult fantasy-romance line about first love, hard-won trust, magical beings, and the courage to remain wholly yourself while letting someone else come close.
Coming October 1, 2026.
Seloria Quen writes fantasy romance where devotion is earned, wonder matters, and heroines remain wholly themselves. Her stories are filled with strange creatures, magical places, hard-won trust, and the quiet moment when two people realize they have found something worth protecting.
If you like your love stories atmospheric, tender, a little magical, and full of heart—welcome.
This is your invitation.
