Charlie McGee is a happy, healthy eight-year-old girl. Normal in every way but one: she has the power to set objects alight with just one glance. It is a power she does not want. It is a power she cannot control. And, each night, Charlie prays to be just like every other child. But there are those that will do anything in their power to find her, control her and destroy her. Will she have the power... to survive?
