About this listen

Detective Jake Monroe thought he had seen it all—until a string of deadly arsons sweeps through the city, leaving behind not just destruction but cryptic, fire-etched symbols at every crime scene.

With no leads and mounting pressure, Jake is forced to team up with Dr. Eleanor Graves, a brilliant but enigmatic historian specializing in ancient languages and obscure cults. Together, they uncover a chilling connection: the symbols are part of an ancient language tied to a long-forgotten fire cult.

As the duo races against time, they unravel a sinister conspiracy rooted in history, where the lines between past and present blur. The cult's goal becomes horrifyingly clear: to resurrect a deadly ritual that could engulf the city in flames and usher in a new era of chaos. But the deeper Jake and Eleanor dig, the more personal the case becomes, revealing ties to Jake's own family and a betrayal neither of them could have anticipated.

With the city teetering on the brink of destruction, Jake and Eleanor must confront not only the arsonist but also the dark, unrelenting power of belief. As ancient secrets collide with modern-day terror, The Burning Mark delivers a gripping tale of mystery, danger, and the unquenchable human fascination with fire.
