SHARON, MA, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Teenage Massachusetts author Isaiah Gong has released his third fiction novel, Conflagration of Sycamore, a military fantasy novel set in an industrialized fantastical world shaped by war, empires, and geopolitical conflict.
Released on September 22, 2026, Conflagration of Sycamore follows Acer, a boy whose quiet life in a forest village is disrupted when the Irkhet Empire invades his home. After surviving the invasion and being rescued by soldiers from the rival Aurellome Empire, Acer grows up haunted by memories of the invasion and a desire for revenge.
Years later, Acer is drafted into the Aurellome Army when war reaches him again. His experiences as a soldier begin to challenge the way he once understood the conflict. As he encounters the effects of war on civilians and soldiers, Acer is forced to reconsider his notions of revenge, loyalty, freedom, and what he believes he is fighting for.
The novel explores the personal effects of war, fate, and camaraderie. It is meant to be a cautionary tale on those that conflate violence with purpose.
