Guadalupe College has a slightly different spark than your average university: they teach and train chispas-humans with exceptional powers and gifts from the gods-in how to use those powers. A class of students has just arrived to be molded into a team, but not all of them get along. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a coalescing group of villains begins to pull together pieces of a plan that would make them unstoppable. To protect the world and what they love, the new group of freshmen must take on the mantle of the former generation of chispas and become the Thirteen.
