Thomas Brand is imprisoned in darkness, deep beneath the surface of Prometheus. When Aina died to save his life, so did the magic and hope within him. But when a fiery creature visits him in the night, telling him that Aina lives, and demanding that he descend to the centre of the planet to where she waits—and to take the magic Fire—Thomas begins to question his beliefs of life and death. The discovery that his friend, Lucy, might still be alive, and the arrival of dark sorcerers intent on killing them, forces him to attempt escape, and to consider the dangerous journey to the centre of Prometheus.

Would you use a magic that threatened to kill you? One that burnt you so badly that strangers became afraid? Thomas and Lucy must make this choice if they wish to save the lives of those they love. And, for Thomas, it is his only hope of finding alive the woman who died in his arms. To his friend’s concern, and fear of madness, Thomas refuses to give up the hope that Aina will be reborn. Meanwhile, the Empire believes it has total control of the planet of Prometheus. No other planet has provided such a rich and vibrant nature, one that is now fully open for exploitation. The Emperor himself has journeyed to this remote planet to celebrate the final forward movement as man conquers nature. But hidden deep within the ancient forest, there are forces that would resist. Thomas and Lucy fight with them. The war between species is about to begin. Can magic overcome the advanced technology of an expansionist empire? And can the woman who died sacrificing her life for Thomas really be reborn?
