The Flame Child - Parfait Mari

DESTINIES BURN. DARKNESS HUNTS. A BOY WILL CHOOSE.

Ten-year-old Jason is an ordinary boy who loves football, his friends, and playing with his favorite red toy truck. But deep inside him lies a terrifying, ancient power he cannot explain-and an impossible prophecy he knows nothing about.

When a routine walk home from school turns into a nightmare, Jason and his four best friends are violently torn from their peaceful lives and dragged deep into the forbidden forests. They have been captured by the Baj Tribe, a shadowy, ruthless cult that worships raw power, hunts the supernatural, and sacrifices the innocent to feed their dark enforcers.

Trapped behind bars with the drums of sacrifice echoing through the trees, Jason’s explosive fire powers begin to awaken. But as the stakes rise and the hunt closes in, he discovers that escaping the jungle requires more than just raw flames. Guided by an enigmatic guardian hidden in the deep woods, Jason must learn to master his volatile gift before it consumes him.

Faced with a corrupt police force, brutal betrayals, and an ancient enemy preparing for war, Jason is forced to make a defining choice. Will he become a devastating weapon of destruction-or the Guardian the world desperately needs?
