* FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET * 'Catriona Ward is a
sorceress of the highest order and Nowhere Burning is nothing short of spellbinding' - OLIVIE
BLAKE 'Gorgeous dangerous mythic and horrific. For anyone who likes to marvel at a
remarkable storyteller' - A.J. FINN 'Broke my heart a dozen times and held me spellbound
throughout. Just genius' - SARAH HILARY The Nowhere Children are expecting you... High in
the mountains sits Nowhere a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at
Nowhere for centuries though never for long and rarely happily. Its last owner was its most
famous: movie star Leaf Winham who built Nowhere House as a refuge to hide from his fame...
and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered
the last resting places of lost young men who would never go home. Years later Nowhere valley
has become a sanctuary for runaway children a place where adults cannot enter. 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... 'A creepy clever and heartrending story
compelling and beautifully crafted' - EMMA HEALEY 'Darkly compelling and so well-drawn with
such a range of believable engaging characters... Terrific' - JOANNE HARRIS 'Atmospheric
and achingly tender suspense from one of our most original writers. I dare you not to fall
under its spell' - ERIN KELLY
