Doni Cassidy found herself caught in the path of the dragon, the worst wildfire to ravage her mountain retreat in local history. Trapped in the chaos of the flaming maelstrom, she managed to find her way to her small cabin nestled higher up on the mountain, on a small alpine lake. The harrowing experience is enough for an adult to contend with, but for Chelsea, a toddler left burned, disfigured, and orphaned by the flames, the experience proves the extent of human strength and perseverance. Little do the local residents know about what is behind the devastating wildfires, and the hand the government may have played. But Valerie Tamarian has a dark secret regarding the origin of the fires that took the life of her best friend; a secret that may not only put Valerie’s life at stake, but also the life of her unborn child.
