"Cassia, the fire in your blood will either burn you or crown you," your grandmother said, and you never forgot. You were barely old enough to tend the hearth, but already the herbs in the garden would lean toward your fingers as if drawn by a scent only they could sense. When the night water rose around the roots, you learned to hold your breath and listen for the ember's reply.
