Fire—dreams of Fire—visions of Fire. Where do they come from? Aryazate doesn't know why, but he fears the power secretly growing in him. Am I a demon, or a sorcerer? Kavada, the blacksmith, seems to be the only one he can trust, but even he doesn't know the extent of Aryazate's secrets. What would he say if he found out that the beautiful maiden Aryazate, is really a young man forced by circumstances to conceal this truth, which day by day becomes more evident?
Just when he thinks Kavada is ready to hear the truth, Aryazate's worst nightmares become reality. The Head–Mage Monushir accuses him of sorcery and has him imprisoned. What will this trial reveal? Is the truth so horrible that Aryazate will welcome torture and death by fire—by the same fire that haunts his dreams?
