Chandler Ricks was born for this.

Smokejumping isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. It’s danger wrapped in adrenaline, sweat forged in purpose. At just twenty years old, Chandler steps out of training and into the flames, a six-foot-three force of will, armed with a pulaski axe and the kind of courage only found in those who run toward what others flee.

But fire isn’t the only thing waiting in the wilderness.

As Chandler’s first season with the elite team of smokejumpers begins, he’s faced with searing heat, shifting winds, and a fiery phenomenon even the veterans can’t explain—a vortex of flame unlike anything they've seen. And behind it all, whispers of sabotage, secrets buried in ash, and a truth that could burn more than the forest.

In the heart of the inferno, one man will have to decide who he is—and what he’s willing to risk to survive.
