Vote on what the best title for my new book is?

I'm writing a fantasy book aimed at young adult but readable by all ages:

In the town of Tekrem, a boy watches his own city burn to the ground. As he realizes that his life would never be the same again, he finds a compassionate old man who takes him in within the city ruins. As time moves on, the boy finds that there was more to the fire than just the destruction of his old way of life. To save everyone he has now come to love, he would need to travel to the furthest reaches of the lands. Along the way, he encounters many perils as well as meets many new friends. This is a story about ice trolls, snowmen, golems, dragons, elves, magic, and more.

Basically, this is a story about a curse which started with the raid of Tekrem, but leads on to disease and a war of the wizards against the living dead completely covered with flames.

I am trying to conduct a vote on what would be the best title for the book, based on the above summary. I have narrowed it down to six choices:

Flames of Death

Forgotten Flames

Cursed Flames

Deathly Burning

Death by Flames

Shadow of Fire

Please answer with one of the titles above (or a variation/adaptation of your own) which you would be most interested to buy. Also include your age group (<15, <20, <25, <30...) and whether you would buy this book. (Three things)

I will choose best answer randomly, irrespective of what you write (as long as is reasonable). Thanks!

Update:

Rolled a dice, was three. Thanks everyone for commenting, hopefully you will see a book of this description pop up somewhere.

    Shadow of Fire. <20. It sounds like the kind of book I would want to read.

    Hope that helps.

    Flames of death sounds too cliche. And so does Death by flames.

    Forgotten flames could work. The alliteration thing is good. But is the fire at Tekrem forgotten in the future or are there other fires in the past that have been forgotten, because you need a reason to put the word forgotten in.

    Cursed flames is all right. But are the flames actually a part of the curse?

    Deathly burning. No. Doesn't flow well.

    Shadow of fire could definitely work. Because it's sort of like the fire in Tekrem has cast a shadow over the boys life. And now it seems he's been left in the dark about certain things and there's all these mysteries to solve. So yeah, that's a good title.

    I also like Fire and Curses. Or Curses and Flames. But that's just me.

    I am in the <15 age group and yes i would buy a book like this. For sure.

    Hope this helps!

    Shadow of Fire has a haunting, mysterious feel to it. <15 and it would probably be something that I would purchase and read.
