Forged To Rise

By Frederick P Croniser

Jadon Carter didn't ask to be the new kid.

He didn't ask to be bullied, ignored, or labeled before anyone knew his name. But when silence becomes too heavy to carry-and fists start flying in the hallways of Brightridge High-Jadon finds himself at a breaking point.

Then he meets a mentor unlike any other: a quiet warrior who introduces him to Kirisuto Bushin Ryu, the Way of Christ the Warrior. It's not just about punches and blocks. It's about purpose. Discipline. Redemption.

As Jadon trains alongside a team of outcasts and underdogs, he learns to fight not for revenge, but for something greater. With a citywide tournament approaching and the bullies closing in, Jadon must decide: Will he rise above the pain-or be defined by it?

Forged to Rise is a powerful coming-of-age martial arts novel that blends faith, combat, and courage. For readers who believe that true strength is forged in fire-and that warriors fight not just with fists, but with purpose.Jadon Carter didn't ask to be the new kid.
