The world is burning, and no one knows how to stop it.
A deadly spore, nicknamed Dragonscale, marks its victims with black and gold patterns before igniting them into living fire. Cities fall one by one, consumed in uncontrollable blazes. There is no cure. No escape.
Harper Grayson, a nurse and expectant mother, has seen the horrors firsthand. When she discovers the telltale marks on her own skin, survival becomes more than personal—it becomes about saving the child she carries. But her husband turns against her, the world fractures into violence, and the Cremation Squads hunt the infected like prey.
Her only hope lies with a mysterious figure called the Fireman, a man who can bend the plague’s flames to his will.
