Children Of The Furnace

Truth died in the fires. Only through courage can it be born again.

Anthem To The Strong

We are the Keepers of the Cool

And the Workers of the Sink

We cleanse the world of Helgas, bring it back from the brink

Of the Furnace.

Our strength will be legend, no room for the weak.

Our sweat and our blood and our toil speak our grit.

We spit on your frailty, we spit when you weep.

To the Strong, to the Strong, to the Strong."

Under the iron rule of the Revelayshun, one boy discovers the truth.

"Ty promised my ma he’d bring me up right. Bring him up to hear the rhythm beat, she said, and to feel the heartsblood warm. Not Strong – not in their way – but strong in the ways of the heart."

When the Revelayshun murders his pa, Wil discovers through savage inquisition that he’s marked as a Heater, one of the old-time heretics who burned up the world. 

But Wil holds the key to a secret. Sekkerland’s Shame, the Atrocity, is a great lie – and the Revelayshun will use fire, blood and death to hide the truth. 

Dark, powerful and heartbreaking, Children Of The Furnace compels with a uniquely stunning world and one of the greatest characters you’ll ever be afraid for.
