In a crumbling orphanage on the outskirts of a forgotten town, twelve-year-old Ash feels like an outsider in his own life. Constantly restless, he dreams of something more—something beyond the dull walls and dreary routines. One stormy night, while gazing out at the mist-shrouded mountains, he sees something that shouldn’t be. A flame, alive and pulsing with a strange energy, beckons to him from the darkness. When the flame seems to call his name, Ash knows that his ordinary life is about to change forever. Driven by a mysterious mark that has appeared on his chest, he embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth behind the living flame. With his loyal friend Miri by his side, Ash soon discovers that the flame is tied to an ancient secret, one that could ignite a war between worlds. As they venture deeper into the unknown, Ash faces monsters, ancient magic, and secrets buried for centuries. But the flame’s power comes at a price, and Ash will have to choose between his past and the future of everything he knows. The world is watching, and its fate lies in the hands of a boy and the whispering flame that chose him.
