Book excerpt: Fini Kiri is the land of fire where citizens worship the mysterious beings that rule over them and force people to adhere to their tyrannical reign. An unyieldingly valiant youth, Tee is only twenty fire festivals old when he damns the consequences in order to defy the so-called gods. They took something from him that can never be replaced. Tee was born into a world where his mother and father were eventually killed by the superlative beings they once trusted and adored. Now that Tee has finally come to terms with being an orphaned prince and king-to-be, the fire gods strike again and steal his beloved, Tonye. Tee digs into the depths of his heart to find the bravery he needs to fight back. His rebellious valor challenges the foundation of Fini Kiri as he prepares to attack the powers that be. With a little help from cryptic creatures and against deathly odds, Tee strives to rescue his love, uncover inconceivable truths, and free his land from the cruelty of both the fire and rain gods. It takes but one voice to ignite change, and Tee will scream to the heavens.
