About the book

A USA Today bestseller!

"Anyone who has reached a hand toward the night sky will understand the beautifully incurable ache for belonging at the heart of Nowhere Burning, the latest unsettling fairytale from Catriona Ward."-Christopher Buehlman, New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Fires

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...

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.

    This was my first Caitriona Ward book - and now I’m completely hooked on her writing style. I don’t think I’ve ever read something this atmospheric and mesmerizing. The premise: Yellowjackets meets a twisted Peter Pan. Lost children, siblings, home, connection, secrets. Hell yeah! I’ll be honest though, I was confused more than once while reading. Different timelines, sudden jumps, revelations that needed to be processed. This was not an easy read, but I still could not put it down. The horror was deeply unsettling, and not just on the surface. This one was creeping up on me like a spider up a leg. What I loved was the connection between the siblings who just want to survive and find a place to be. The ending - oh my! This one will leave me with a deep unsettling feeling. The audiobook was really good for this, but also made it even more intense and urgent. 4/5 star Thank you @netgalley and @macmillan.audio for the eARC! #NowhereBurning #Netgalley #Bookstagram
