Max Verstappen is just an ordinary 7-year-old?except for the fact that his best friend, Charles Leclerc, keeps seeing a terrifying figure called the Dark Wisdom. At first, Max dismisses it as a silly fear from a scary movie. But when Charles starts fainting every time he sees his own reflection, Max realizes something sinister is at play.
As Max digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling truth: the Dark Wisdom isn't just a figment of imagination?it's real, and it can shapeshift. Worse, it's targeting Charles, manipulating events to isolate him. When Max himself is kidnapped by a mysterious figure named Bark, he must rely on his friends?including their school assistant, Lewis Hamilton?to escape.
But the danger isn't over. The Dark Wisdom lurks in mirrors, shadows, and even the people they trust. As Max and Charles race against time, they must unravel the mystery before the Dark Wisdom claims one of them for good.
