THE DARK SPLINTER And So It Begins… When the fire doesn’t answer, truth still stands. Marty Dorjan was never meant to be a hero. He’s a comic-book nerd, a gamer, and a kid who senses that something is wrong with the world—but never imagined he would be called to stand against it. Then he finds the Dark Splinter. A forgotten relic tied to sacred history. A silent witness to the Word that once changed everything. And a power that answers not to anger, pride, or force—but to obedience. As a global phenomenon called Code of Arms reshapes belief into spectacle and pushes truth to the margins, Marty and his friends discover that real faith is not about dominance or display. It’s about standing firm when truth is costly, quiet, and unseen. Because darkness doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it rewrites. And sometimes, the bravest act of faith is to stand— even when the fire doesn’t come.
