Firefighter Lin Yan was struck in the chest by a shard of a mysterious, dark-red “Emberstone” during an explosion at a chemical plant. He survived, only to discover he had gained an inexplicable ability: whenever he touched ash or debris at a fire scene, images would unfold before his eyes as if time were rewinding, showing him how the flames had started and what had caused the disaster.
With this ability, Lin Yan moved from frontline firefighting to the fire investigation unit. He solved one baffling case after another, earning a reputation among his colleagues as a fire investigator with an uncanny instinct. But as a series of seemingly unrelated fires were linked together, an inverted-triangle burn mark kept appearing at the scenes. The same mark had been found at the blaze twenty years earlier that claimed his father’s life.
