Regina Winters knows that metahuman abilities can emerge at times of great stress, especially in new colonies. Suddenly sucking the flames from a forest fire, and being deputized . . . she'll take it?

SYNOPSIS:

Regina is not someone the town has expected to go into law enforcement, or any other typical occupation for those unconventional folks. And yet, when the flames of the life-threatening inferno stream into her hands, the course before her is clear.

No rest for the wicked, as Miss Winters is immediately drawn into service by Sheriff Cole -- he and his deputies are cutting a firebreak, and she must stand firm in the town itself, converting the blaze into mere embers.

Her ability is incredibly valuable, and the question arises: is her temperament conducive to this work? Can she wear a badge from now on, without burning out?
