    Summary

    Shion is from the Gold District, an affluent community built on the backs of the residents of the poverty-stricken border areas where Nezumi is from. Nezumi joins the Resistance Force, a group determined to reverse the inequalities between the privileged residents of the Gold District and the suffering inhabitants of the border areas. In the Resistance Force, Nezumi's newest responsibility is housing an unruly hostage taken from the Gold District - and his hostage is, of course, Shion.

    Summary

    Nezumi is the last of the FireMasters - people who can create, control, and consume fire at will. Despite the threat Nezumi promises, Shion can't seem to acknowledge this danger over his own impulse to keep the last FireMaster beside him.

    Preview:
    Nezumi didn’t understand this guy. Squinted at him. “So you’re fine that a stranger is waltzing into your home and drinking your coffee out of your mug for no apparent reason.”
    Shion raised his eyebrows. “You didn’t just waltz in, I invited you in. And just because the reason isn’t apparent doesn’t mean there isn’t any.”
    “Are you aware of stranger danger?”
    Shion smiled. The guy, Nezumi was beginning to realize, was not normal. “Sure. You don’t seem dangerous to me.”
    Nezumi weaved his fingers through his bangs to push them off his forehead. “Maybe you haven’t heard – I’m the last surviving FireMaster. I can set your entire apartment on fire with the snap of my fingers. I can even do it without snapping my fingers.” It was not an empty threat. It was a warning.
