The Kindled Image

By Lorcan Pike

What if remembering God made you a target? Lucas remembers a world that never existed-and that memory becomes dangerous when it spreads.

Lucas and his friends have escaped. Taken in by refugees living at the marsh's edge, Lucas begins to teach the gospel-from Creation to the Cross-not as doctrine, but as living stories that change how people act. Grace replaces barter. Shared meals replace hoarded rations. Baptism becomes both sacrament and evidence.

But visibility invites bureaucracy. A drone files "assembly activity." Baptisms leave wet footprints and witness names. The Republic's paperwork becomes a clock. To protect what they've built, the camp must scatter-two by two, like seeds-so the story itself can survive.

The Kindled Image asks: when mercy becomes documented, what do you risk to keep it alive? This book blends moral urgency with character-driven suspense, perfect for readers who like speculative YA with spiritual and ethical stakes.
