没有人知道“龙鳞症”是从什么时候散布，又是在哪里开始的。
这场可怕的新生瘟疫如野火燎原，使全球一个接着一个城市遭受侵袭；它是一种具高度传染性和致命性的病菌孢子，被感染者皮肤上会出现黑色和金色的文身，在这些文身布满全身之后，便会使人突发自燃致死。
护士哈珀在医院照料病患时，染上了这种致命绝症，但她同时发现自己也怀了身孕，在神祕消防员约翰的帮助下，她决心和时间赛跑，奋力在死亡到来、生命终点之前，将腹中的小生命带到这个世界，增加自己活下来的可能性。
然而患者越来越多，混乱和恐慌在各地扩散，冲突和暴力不断激增，全世界都失控地燃烧了起来……
No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it’s Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies—before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.
Harper Grayson, a compassionate, dedicated nurse as pragmatic as Mary Poppins, treated hundreds of infected patients before her hospital burned to the ground. Now she’s discovered the telltale gold-flecked marks on her skin. When the outbreak first began, she and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact: they would take matters into their own hands if they became infected. To Jakob’s dismay, Harper wants to live—at least until the fetus she is carrying comes to term. At the hospital, she witnessed infected mothers give birth to healthy babies and believes hers will be fine too. . . if she can live long enough to deliver the child.
Convinced that his do-gooding wife has made him sick, Jakob becomes unhinged, and eventually abandons her as their placid New England community collapses in terror. The chaos gives rise to ruthless Cremation Squads—armed, self-appointed posses roaming the streets and woods to exterminate those who they believe carry the spore. But Harper isn’t as alone as she fears: a mysterious and compelling stranger she briefly met at the hospital, a man in a dirty yellow fire fighter’s jacket, carrying a hooked iron bar, straddles the abyss between insanity and death. Known as The Fireman, he strolls the ruins of New Hampshire, a madman afflicted with Dragonscale who has learned to control the fire within himself, using it as a shield to protect the hunted . . . and as a weapon to avenge the wronged.
