Enna's life was not meant to be simple. When her brother,
Leifer, brings home a mysterious piece of vellum that
teaches him how to set fires — without a spark, without
flint — Enna cannot decide if this power is one she wants
for herself, or something that should be extinguished forever.
And when Bayern, their country, goes to war, the choice
becomes nearly unbearable. Enna never imagined that the
warm, life-giving energy of a fire could destroy everything
she loves, but she must now save herself and Bayern before
fire consumes her entirely.
