The Cinder Path

In the fictional coastal town of Vermount, a flicked cigarette butt triggers a gas explosion that consumes two infant sisters. Classified as a miscellaneous case, this tragedy ensnares strangers—nurse Irene, mechanic Marcus, vagrant Victor, and Judge's daughter Sophia—into an eighteen-year karmic whirlpool. As the wrongly accused dies in prison, the real perpetrator hides in silence. The victims' mother embarks on a thorny quest, only to discover that justice delayed is not a flaw of time, but a slow, exquisite flaying of the living soul.
