( Jan. 4, 2013)
Circe Kellar is the only person ever to witness spontaneous human combustion when she sees her grandmother consumed by fire.
Soon after her grandmother's death, a mysterious young man, Evan Royce, appears claiming to have known Circe's grandmother, even though he is much too young. Was Circe's grandmother a Promethean, a member of a nearly extinct race that gave birth to the phoenix legend, and has Circe inherited those powers?
A series of inexplicable events forces Circe to confront Evan's outlandish claims and the possibility that she has special powers, not to mention her growing attraction to the powerful stranger.
