Overview

Nowhere Burning is a harrowing tale of survival that places the dark fairy tale of Peter Pan and the ruthless dangers of Lord of the Flies into the unforgiving maw of the Colorado Rockies. ""Gripping and beautiful, haunting and virtuously crafted...you won't be able to stop reading.""--Virginia Feito, author of Victorian Psycho Secrets in the flames. Answers in the ashes. Riley and her brother Oliver set off in the pitch-black night, fleeing their troubled home. They are heading for Nowhere--an abandoned ranch, once the playground of its former eccentric movie-star owner, now a haven for runaways. What awaits could be the freedom they crave. But this mysterious clan guards dark secrets, and the scorched grounds hold the ghosts of the past. Riley quickly realizes that while she and Oliver may have escaped the devil they knew, something darker lurks in the burnt shell of Nowhere. Something which asks a terrible price for sanctuary...

Praise for Nowhere Burning: ""Gripping and beautiful and haunting and virtuously crafted... you won't be able to stop reading."" --Virginia Feito, author of Victorian Psycho ""Darkly compelling."" --Joanne Harris, author of The Moonlight Market ""Catriona Ward is a sorceress of the highest order and Nowhere Burning is nothing short of spellbinding. The scale of both tenderness and terror is a marvel. Ward's storytelling has reached such heights that I can only adequately compare her to herself: it's as eerily atmospheric as Little Eve, as twisty and complex as Looking Glass Sound, and as emotionally compelling as Sundial. I will follow Ward anywhere, holding my breath as I go."" --Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Girl Dinner ""Catriona Ward's instant classic Nowhere Burning is gorgeous, dangerous, mythic and horrific. Here the embers of long-ago fires still smolder, and a girl and her brother lead readers into an abandoned ranch unlike anyplace you've ever visited in a book. This unforgettable novel evokes Stephen King and fairy tales, but it's very much an original--a story for anyone who likes to marvel at a remarkable storyteller in full flower."" --A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
