​Zahra Darwesh is the last of The Birth Weepers: a familial line of mystically powered women, resurrected souls of the child-daughters sacrificed in ancient Arabia. Zahra can command fire, a fact she must keep hidden so she will not be hunted as a witch like her ancestors were. But all she really wants is to get out - to escape the trappings of adolescence, of school, of her traditional parents and the life they have planned for her - and build a path for herself on her own terms. But the path that she takes may not be the path she expected...
