From the award-winning, bestselling author of *NOS4A2* and *Heart-Shaped Box* comes a chilling tale of a pandemic of spontaneous combustion that threatens civilization. A deadly spore known as Dragonscale spreads rapidly, marking its hosts with striking black and gold patterns before igniting them in flames. Millions are infected, and chaos ensues across cities like Boston and Seattle, with no antidote in sight. Harper Grayson, a dedicated nurse, finds herself infected after witnessing the devastation in her hospital. She and her husband, Jakob, had promised to take drastic measures if they became ill, but now Harper is determined to survive for the sake of her unborn child. As their community descends into panic, Jakob's fear drives him to abandon her, leaving Harper vulnerable amidst the rise of ruthless Cremation Squads that hunt the infected. Yet, hope emerges in the form of a mysterious figure known as The Fireman, a man who has learned to control the flames within him. As Harper navigates this new, perilous world, she must uncover the Fireman’s secrets to protect herself and her child from the impending inferno.
