Erkki Lahja, a kind hearted boy from a crumbling family in a crumbling neighborhood, tries his best just to move through life and protect his friends in the bright summer of 1975. He also seems to be the only one oblivious to the fantastic chain of events that unfold miraculously around him. A chain that wraps around him tighter and tighter pulling him deeper into the world of mobsters, dirty cops, and madmen. Erkki's social worker is convinced he's schizophrenic, his new foster guardian has come to believe he's a prophet, the man who calls himself the law just wants his head on a pike, and poor troubled Erkki just wants to go home and be left alone. Unfortunately for Erkki, that's never going to happen as he has a decision to make which may very well mean the salvation or condemnation of all mankind. A decision of which forces beyond earth will stop at nothing to influence. An answer to a question which is far and away beyond little Erkki's ability to understand, but one which only he can resolve in the end. The Children of Malakh is a story about innocents and bravery in the face of utter evil, the relationship of two boys who's "unbreakable" bond is continuously put to the test, and a very special child with a very special heritage who guards a powerful secret deep within his luminous soul.
