They tried to burn the boy out of him. All they made was fire.
Jake Carter was only ten years old when Russian operatives stormed his home and tore his life apart. Beaten, broken, and dragged into the snow, he was thrown into a Siberian facility where pain was a language and survival meant surrender. But Jake never forgot.
Unlike the other subjects, he remembers everything—his father’s last stand, his mother’s screams, his own helpless rage. That memory becomes fuel, and the scientists give him a name meant to erase the boy he Inferno.
Every injection, every restraint, every order to kill pushes Jake closer to the edge. Until one choice shatters the program from mercy. His refusal to extinguish another child sparks the first true burst of his fire.
Now, as the facility collapses in ice and blood, Jake crosses paths with another Subject Frost. Mason has fought to reclaim his stolen humanity, but Jake still clings to his rage. Their alliance is fragile, their powers volatile, and the world has no place for either of them.
But if fire and frost can hold together, even for a moment, they might just bring the whole network down.
Perfect for fans of Mackenzi Lee, Marie Lu, and Neal Shusterman, Inferno is a brutal, cinematic YA sci-fi thriller about survival, rage, and the dangerous hope of brotherhood.
