Strange Fire

Long ago, humanity's hunger for knowledge, riches and control brought about its downfall, and according to the Descendancy's teachings, the Lord's Daughter came down to scorch the earth in response. The few who lived through that ruin rebuilt society over generations around one rule: the errors of the old world must never happen again.

Clive and Clover Hamill are the sons of a respected minister in the Descendancy, and they have grown up traveling with their father's ministry to preach its doctrine. Their journey takes a dangerous turn when they come across a settlement determined to recover the forbidden technologies of the past. What follows pushes cities into conflict and drives a wedge between the two brothers.

The story also follows Gemma Poplin, Clive's childhood sweetheart, and Paz Dedios, a rebel who wants to bring down the Descendancy. Each of the central characters will shape how the struggle unfolds and what becomes of humanity.
