"Just watch, he can set anything on fire."

Burned and scarred, Tabar is five summers old and destined for execution. His crime? Being a reminder of the past. Rescued from the gallows and integrated into local village life, Tabar confronts his greatest fear to become the 'Magic Man', renowned for his mastery of fire.

With his terror now an ally, he learns that love and acceptance do strange things to scars, bringing him a life he could never have imagined. But when guards from the governing Brennyn Hall shatter the peace of his village, and his family and neighbors are separated and brutalized, everything disintegrates-including himself. Tabar is left with an agonizing decision. Soul destroying obedience to the Hall, or death to those he loves. Will he find an answer in the flames? And what must he set on fire to save all their lives?
