Description:
Masao never asked to be chosen-yet the Verdant Flame chose him anyway. Born with Verdant-touched Crimson hair and a power whispered about in old legends, Masao has spent his life hiding from the world and from himself. But when a violent raid shatters his village and tears apart the only family he's ever known, he's forced into a destiny he never wanted.
Now hunted by forces that fear what he might become, Masao must navigate a world where ancient spirits, corrupted warlords, and forgotten gods all have their own plans for him. Guided only by fragments of prophecy and a stubborn will to survive, he begins to uncover the truth behind the Verdant Flame-an elemental force capable of healing, destroying, or reshaping the world entirely.
As Masao's power grows, so does the danger. Allies become targets. Enemies become shadows in every forest path. And the line between fate and choice blurs as Masao realizes that the greatest threat may not be the hunters chasing him... but the fire awakening within him.
A story of loss, rebirth, and the cost of power, Masao Book 1 launches an epic saga filled with emotional depth, explosive magic, and a hero fighting to define himself before the world does it for him.
