Turn to Burn

Nike's bones burn to save the city.Seventeen-year-old Nike stalks Toronto's streets by night, hunting raitgur-alien land squids that slither through shadows, infecting the vulnerable. Her father wields Burner fire to destroy them, but the spark, that comes from her. He burns Nike's fingers like wicks, stealing her flame to fuel his war.She hates it. Hates him.But the raitgur took everything. Her mother. Her sister. So if setting herself on fire is the price of vengeance, she'll pay it.Except the burns are getting worse. Her father's power is guttering. The city's infection is spreading. And Nike wonders how much more she can take. Isn't it her turn to burn?
