Deagan spoke up. “Man, the boy just saved us all. They’ll be all night trying to quell those fires, and by then reinforcements will have arrived --”

“It was fire that killed your mother, and I knew that if you learned what you could do you would kill others too.” Eoghan’s eyes were cold.

“Others?” Ciaran asked. Something in his father’s voice was alien, afraid and angry all at once. “What do you mean?”

“Come now,” Dolan said, and he too was pale with fear, “you speak madness. A babe cannot set such a blaze, not such as killed your Ceri.”
