Nowhere Burning

Nowhere Burning Synopsis

*

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET

* 'One of our finest literary horror writers' - SUNDAY TIMES 'Dark, grimly compelling and very twisty' - GUARDIAN 'A beguiling, haunting modern fairy tale' - DAILY EXPRESS The Nowhere Children are expecting you... High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a green valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and never happily.

Its last owner was its most infamous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House to hide from his fame... and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the bodies discovered, lost young men who would never go home. Years later, Nowhere valley has become a sanctuary for runaway children.

Drawn by this promise, fourteen-year-old Riley pulls her brother Oliver from his bed in the middle of the night, hoping to find a new family. But the Nowhere Children are fierce in defending their valley and their secrets. For something dark lives in the ruins of Nowhere House, something that asks a terrible price for sanctuary...
