The First to Burn: A Dystopian Rebellion Against a World That Burns the Guilty-And Fears the Innocent

By Magdi Abdullah Ahmed

What if the fire that judges you is lying?

In a world where guilt ignites in public pyres and only the pure survive, one woman's refusal to burn makes her the most wanted heretic in the Church's empire. Marked as "Untouched," she drifts through cities scarred by flame, hunted for the crime of not feeling guilt where others are judged by machines.

When a single act of defiance shatters the Church's perfect system, the woman without a name becomes a symbol of hope-and a target for total annihilation. As the Church unleashes a technological inquisition and the faithful cheer for cleansing, she must rally the outcasts, face her own haunted past, and ignite a rebellion to reveal the fire's darkest truth.

With every chapter, The First to Burn thrusts you into a world of ritual executions, machine-judged guilt, secret rebels, and a desperate search for freedom. Twists, betrayals, and revelations burn at every turn. Will she set the world ablaze for justice, or will the last hope for humanity be turned to ash?

For fans of dystopian thrillers, strong heroines, and stories that never let you look away.
