Mortal Fire
Author(s): Elizabeth Knox
A mysterious and compelling literary fantasy that weaves magic, mathematics, love, family-and riddles within riddles-from the author of international sensation The Absolute Book, Elizabeth Knox.
Sixteen-year-old Canny Mochrie has always been different; she has a calculating, mathematical mind and she sees something extra. When she begrudgingly joins her stepbrother on a trip to research a 30-year-old coal mine disaster, she meets the alluring Ghislain Zarene, who is held hostage by a powerful spell. Canny starts to untangle the mysteries of the valley, -only to find that its secrets are her secrets, too.
