The fire that was to change so many lives started with a
single shaft of lightning that struck a mountain ridge on a still
and moonless night. The woman who camped nearby with her group of
troubled teenagers slept on and heard nothing. Until the deadly
inferno engulfed the mountain, and into the flames leaped The Smoke

the woman he loves but cannot have, for Julia Bishop is the partner
of his closest friend, Ed Tully. Julia loves them both but the
tragedy on Snake Mountain forces her to choose between them and
burns a brand on all their hearts. In the wake of the fire, Connor
travels to the world''s worst wars and disasters to take photographs
that find him fame but not happiness. Reckless of a life he no
longer wants, he dares death to take him, until another fateful day
on another continent, when he must walk through fire again ...
