"This book is epic."—Braydon, age 13

“David found himself crashing into Lee a second time. The weight of the backpack unbalanced him. He staggered forward and sprawled on the track, pebbles lodging in the palms of his hands. He scrambled to his feet, disorientated in the heat and noise. He swatted at the orange particles stinging his skin as the noise of the approaching fire got closer. It was all consuming—and frightening. It was as if an immense, living beast was roaring up the valley. It leapt from tree to tree faster than any creature could run, devouring everything in its path.”

Caught in a fire storm while hiking, David is forced to run for his life. Then, high on a deadly cliff, he must find a way to save a schoolmate from a terrifying fall. As they recover from their ordeal and the lies that follow, David and his friends face challenges and choices. But David’s most important task is finding something better than revenge.
