A dark entity made of fire, smoke, and ash–“The Fire Man”–blazes through a young girl’s home, killing her entire family. Amy Durant swears she saw this supernatural creature, but no one ever believed her. Unfortunately, these past fears reignite a decade later as her city goes up in flames. With no one else to rely on, Amy is forced to battle both past trauma and the face of the inferno.
At the ruins of Uncle Robby's shop, Amy is arrested and Vic is led back underground. Separately, they finally uncover who tends the flame of the Fire Man. The two are presented with the choice: join...or burn.
