Ecko Burning by Danie Ware is a science fiction/fantasy epic published by Titan Books.

With the grasslands diseased and the people growing restless as a dark evil begins to spread, Ecko must decide once and for all whether this fantasy world really is an alternative reality, or simply a virtual Rorschach that can only be escaped from by burning it all to the ground.
