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.

"This book is finely wrought magic from start to finish. It has brains; it has heart; it has people to fear and to fall in low with; and it all takes place in a totally beguiling world full of natural beauties, glittering puzzles and earthy problems. It's a rich and satisfying read" - Margo Lanagan, author of Tender Morsels.
