Publisher Description

She escaped the fire--but not the effects of the burn.

Janeal has long felt trapped in her father's Gypsy culture. Then one night a powerful man named Salazar Sanso promises her the life she longs for--if she will help recover a vast sum of money tied to her father.

When the plan implodes, Sanso and his men attack the gypsy settlement and burn it to the ground. During the blaze, Janeal is faced with a staggering choice.

The impact of that moment changes her forever.

As her past rises from the ashes, Janeal faces a new life-or-death choice. And this time, escape is not an option.

"Burn is about a girl named Janeal who lives in a gypsy camp that her father is the leader of. She doesnt feel like she belongs there and she is unaccepted by the others because her mother was not a gypsy. One night while is off by herself, a man named Salazar Sanso gives her a proposition that is hard to resist. The catch is that she must recover a large amount of money that she is told her father has hidden. When her plan goes awry, Sanso and his team of men attack the camp, killing everybody they see. Then they set everything on fire. During the blaze, Janeal has to see her father die right in front of her, and her best friend is trapped. She is forced to make a horrible decision, risk her life to save her friend Katie or escape unscathed and leave Katie behind. Years later, her choices and her past come back to haunt her and she ends up in another life-or-death situation, where escaping may not be an option at all."

Quotes

  • “Transports readers into another dimension and returns them head spinning, never to see their own world in quite the same way…Christian fiction lovers who enjoy romantic interest, frantic chases by sinister figures of biblical proportions, suspense, and the old-fashioned joy of suspending disbelief will find this new dynamic writing duo, once a writer-editor combo, fiery hot.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “This novel features a solidly constructed plot, well-designed characters, and, peeking out from the darkness, a message of hope and spiritual redemption. As a solo writer, Dekker has a devoted following, especially among readers of inspirational fiction, and his fans will eagerly embrace this book, which showcases his ability to balance story with character and to keep the reader on the edge of his or her seat.”

    " The book started off good and I liked the way things were going. But as with his other books, Ted Dekker always puts a weird religious spin into the mix and just plain ruins the entire story. I couldn't even finish this one. "

    " Although I am usually an ardent Ted Dekker fan, I wasn't too taken with this one... Even though I like the underlying ideas and themes it just wasn't as gripping as his other works :( It took me over 4 months to read it too, because I just couldn't get into it... "
