From wide-eyed child to victim of love...

It is 1932 and Hallowe'en on the Yorkshire moors. A night of fire, of disguise and of secret customs handed down through generations.

To twelve year old Bethany, a truant wide-eyed with fearful excitement, it is a night when she will witness pagan myth meld with bodily lust. A night which will start her journey into womanhood.

Bethany, through poverty, is forced into service with the Greville family - a family with a secret. But strong-minded and independent, she finds love - a love beyond her wildest dreams. Tragically, this dream will one day be savaged by evil. For in a world torn apart by brutal war, Bethany finds a forbidden passion more dangerous than her child-self could ever have foreseen.

"Child of Fire" is a haunting story of passion, of a love that crosses class and country, set against a war-riven landscape.
