Description
Hyroc is different than boys his age. This has earned him a place as an outcast and has even made people fear him. Nothing he does seems to make a difference. Still, he has been able to live a relatively normal life. But an accident shatters all this. Hunted by an enemy that will only stop with his death, he is forced to leave behind everything he has ever known. Alone, and with no one to turn to for help, every day is a challenge to survive. Through his struggle he finds his way to a place where not everything he has been taught to believe is true. Inexplicable events surround him here and his past begins to be revealed. It's what he always wanted, but as the answers unfold, it seems more is going on than he realized and one danger may have blinded him to another.

Person
My name is Adam Freestone. Apart from being an author, I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I use a wheelchair, and my condition requires the use of a ventilator. But it has absolutely no impact on my mind. My disability makes my day-to-day routine challenging. It takes a lot of determination and patience to get anything done. Oddly enough, this is what initially gave me the idea for the main character of my Sentinel Flame books, Hyroc. Hyroc is not disabled, but he is different than everyone else, and this causes him problems. I wanted to present how I live with my disability while creating an adventure story readers would find intriguing. I tried to reflect through the character that sometimes we have to deal with trying times or make tough choices, but if you fight hard enough, you'll find something good eventually, no matter how dark things may appear.
