She alone has the power to stop Maal, the dark god of Hael, from destroying her world. Can she trust her powers and guard her heart, or will she lose herself to the flames?In the land of Aewyr, the immortals stand as mankind\'s last hope against Maal and his supernatural army of darkness, but the immortals have their limits. The kingdom of Ceredwyn watches and waits, praying for a savior. When eighteen-year-old Lakyn Trahearne annihilates a zuhl by immolating him, she\'s not the only one stunned. Such power has never been granted by the gods, even to immortals. She\'s young, and by all accounts, she\'s human, and her powers are beyond comprehension. Ceredwyn may have found its champion. The immortal Reuel is assigned to train Lakyn. He both infuriates and strengthens her, while everything about Lakyn stokes Reuel\'s buried pain and rage. Still, he can\'t stay away. Together, they are electric and explosive, a precarious combination given Lakyn\'s unstable powers.Nothing and no one have stopped Maal\'s steady advance. But Lakyn\'s powers have awakened, and love and loss are potent fuels within her. When Maal\'s forces threaten the Ceredwyn royal family, Lakyn and Reuel must set aside their friction to protect the ones they love . . . if Lakyn can control the untamed powers within her and stand against the darkness that threatens them all.
