About my book, Fire’s Ally
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1250461128/fires-ally
Fire's Ally is a story about Eleg, a girl obsessed with the eerie, persistent, wildfire claiming parts of her home. No amount of rain seems to be able to put it out.
She belongs to a gentle, bookish society and her people have been fighting the fire back for decades. But they are not ready for the turmoil it is about to unleash.
Eleg understands the fire better than most. She has already once failed to protect the innocent in its path.
Though she would rather be alone with her charts and graphs, Eleg must become the unlikely hero her people need, and bring the continent together in an ambitious technological endeavor to save their home.
