Unfortunately, Eamon, the great Draegon-Rider of fables, is an unawakened Finite. In Chiara's words. It is just another clusterfuck to add to the Gawd-damn war she is a part of. Chiara left Eamon to die in the sewers of Paris in 1667. Not knowing why, he had spent two thousand years doing his best to obliterate all memories stored in his DNA. She sailed West to find answers in the dark and light of New Orleans and the ancient knowledge of the First Nations. To end their never-ending cycle of tragedy. Chiara and her Beowulfs work in the shadows to unravel Eamon's unawakened state. While she seeks what called her to Vietnam. Before, his soul is called to the home of Wyrre Draegons to be reincarnated for the last time. She is fated to die once again, protecting those she loves. Against the backdrop of the last days of the Vietnam war. She draws on her millennia of knowledge gained right under the noses of those who would destroy her and Eamon and nudges their destiny back on track. In this introductory book, you will meet their soul family. Immortals, Homo Lycanus and Vampuris Originalis, a Draegon or two and a few other creatures of the here and there. As well as a foe or two. As Chiara likes to say. Find comfort in probable improbability and the ordinarily extraordinary. Because that is where you truly exist. Unseen in plain sight. After all, where better to hide the bearers of the prophecy? It is time to weave together the different legends torn apart by storytellers of the past.

Years later she hears a terrifying African story about a girl leaping into a fire to save her beloved from death, and realises she had rejected the one man she deeply loved and must seek him through heaven and earth or die in the attempt. She is accompanied in her search - sometimes helped, sometimes threateningly challenged - by the multiple flickering flames of Fire that surround her. She knows her love is on the other side of a hotly burning forest fire but whatever route she tries - around the forest, up through the stars, swimming through the ocean that circles the earth and the hidden archive in its bottomless depths - she cannot reach him, Finally, having at last sufficiently tested her love, The Flames direct her to go on a terrifying route down down down through the countless aeons of geologic time to the deep, hidden, fire that energises the earth, and that is at the same time the central spark of her own being. There she finds Vulcan and his smiths working with molten iron on their red-hot anvil. There too is the eternally scorching fire into which she must plunge to find Him. Fire Pearl is the fourth volume in the literary, poetic-prose, Kate-Pearl epic series: The Black Inked Pearl, The Helix Pearl (as told by the wine-dark garrulous sea), Pearl of the Wind (in preparation), and the fairytale prequel The Fijian Pearl; two more volumes are planned (coming, like the others, in dreams) but not yet written. All tell basically the same mythic tale but from different perspectives. A mythical story of two lovers whose connection transcends space and time [that] weaves together biblical allusions, fantasy, and details of the modern day (KIRKUS Review of "The Black Inked Pearl" )

None more so than those who would be seen as monsters themselves. Monsters who accept that the only way to conquer the darkness is to descend to the place where it was born, and meet it head-on.
