Lives are destroyed in a single night. The blaze of fire burns away guilt, innocence, youth, and consciences. Nine-year-old Semina Margeti surrenders to the death of her soul as her mother breathes her last breath, helpless in the flames. Electra Fotinou's only sin is that she passionately fell in love with the wrong person. One guilty party, or perhaps many? Damian, Stefanos, Roussos. Three individuals whose decisions influence the course of events.
Some find solace, while others are tormented by raging rivers of doubt. Perhaps even guilt. The whispers are faint, almost silent at first, but year by year they begin to scream. And she, little Semina, who by a twist of fate has survived, returns as Semeli Sofianou twenty-one years later, reborn from her own ashes, to take her revenge on the perpetrator of the tragedy, who lives and reigns thanks to her mother's money.
But nothing is as it seems when allies turn out to be enemies. And the enemies might be the ones holding the key to love as the masks fall. Will the whispers in the flames ever subside? Will the truth be restored? Will hope be able to emerge and climb into the dark sky, when everyone thought it was once entirely buried in the ashes?
