Prologue
Firebird Kyla Thomson. It was a name only known by two people; the girl who it belonged to and
her drunken single mother who forgot it on a daily basis. Her mother had once told her daughter
when she was very young that she was very special and she should always go by her middle name,
never her first. Kyla had always thought that this was bull, and her mother just didn't want her made
fun of at school. She started finding out how special her name was two nights before her 15th
birthday.
