What to expect
'You won't be able to stop reading' - VIRGINIA FEITO
A place for lost children may also be their prison...
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 his 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 young men who would never go home.
Years later, it is rumoured that Nowhere is now a refuge 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 there is darkness in the ruins of Nowhere House, something which asks a terrible price for sanctuary...
