Treinta años antes de que Graceling salvara su reino... Al otro lado de las montañas al este de los Siete Reinos en una tierra rocosa y asediada por la guerra que se llama Dells, Fuego tiene 17 años y es la última monstruo del reino con forma humana. Es preciosa en cuerpo y mente, tiene una cabellera de color rojo brillante que ondea al viento como una llama y comparte el poder de leer la mente y ejercer su influencia silenciosa sobre los humanos con sus congéneres, pero tiene un gran defecto que hace que estos no confíen en ella, la odien, la aparten: sabe distinguir entre el bien y el mal. Cuando la conspiración estalla para derrocar al rey, Fuego deberá elegir entre la fidelidad a los suyos y el amor por un príncipe en cuya cabeza no puede penetrar.
