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.

"[Narrators Katherine] Fenton and [Christopher] Ragland both create a seamless listening experience with clearly differentiated characters. They connect emotionally to their characters, conveying their fears as they untangle their realities." —BookTrib on Looking Glass Sound

"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…

Editorial Review

The price to pay isn't pretty...
Nowhere is somewhere for Riley and Oliver, the protagonists of Catriona Ward's Nowhere Burning, an intense retelling of two of my favorite classic tales as a child, Peter Pan and Lord of the Flies. Big sister Riley and young Oliver, on the run from their abusive uncle and seeking sanctuary with a self-governing group of fellow runaways, are about to learn that the cost of safety may put them in more danger than ever before. Ward's knack for crafting stories that delve into chilling themes has had my attention since I read The Last House on Needless Street. Combined with the dual narrative performance by Christopher Ragland and Katherine Fenton, the story leaves a lasting impression about the dangers that lurk even when we think we're safe. — Nicole R., Audible Editor

Oliver’s voice was awful. I wanted his whiny body to die. Leif’s voice was exaggerated and annoying.

Good story, some annoying voices.
