Kwame Character Analysis

Kwame lives among the secret divîner encampment in the jungle. He is a Burner, meaning he is a maji with power over fire. He can be headstrong and hot-tempered, turning towards violence when he thinks it will help the outlaws’ cause. Witnessing Kwame’s extraordinary power is what makes Inan certain that magic is too dangerous and must be destroyed for good.

Zu’s tears make my own eyes prickle. Kwame’s face pinches with pain. I want to hate him for what he did to Tzain, but I can’t. I’m no better. If anything, I’m worse. If Inan hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve stabbed that masked divîner to death just to get answers.
