* 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 HILARYThe 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
