Maddie is an orphan who survived the bombing of London during World War II. Although she miraculously survived, her body was burned. Destined to suffer a lifetime of pain, Maddie became a wanderer, searching for unknown spiritual salvation. There is also another pair of twin sisters, Sophie and Toni, the former indulges in sexual sadism and the latter is involved in political violence. When another fire comes, their fates collide... This is a dark book illuminated by fire. The struggle between good and evil that continues from "Lord of the Flies" is placed in a modern context by the author, which is also mixed with religious fanaticism, terrorism, abnormal psychology and sexual behavior, and desperate attempts to escape from the world. The novel profoundly reveals that the "darkness" of human nature not only exists deep in people's hearts, but also exists in the external modern world: "You have nowhere to escape."
