When fire rages through their high school, it claims a classmate's life. The town is devastated. Five teens are fraught. The fire destroyed evidence, but it couldn't erase their secrets. A gripping new novel from the bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends.

When Pierce High School burns down, it's called a tragic accident. A student, who should never have been inside at night, is caught by the flames. Her death is awful, but no one could have foreseen it. No one could have prevented it.

At least, that's the official story.

Five teens have very different stories: about the fire that wasn't an accident, the school they wanted destroyed, and Eden, who was trapped inside.

Told through intertwining POV and timelines, each teen has their own secrets to protect, and the truth will shine through the darkness-but only the strong will rise from its ashes.

Marieke Nijkamp lives in the Netherlands and the story takes place in a fictional Colorado town.

- Gripping conversation starter: Addresses meaningful contemporary issues (sexual assault, domestic violence, mental health, independence, etc) within the framework of a suspenseful drama that will have readers on the edge of their seats-and wanting to discuss the story with friends.
- Recipe for success: Ticking clock, multiple points-of-view, intense situations and emotions, diversity of characters-Marieke is known for weaving dramatic, suspenseful survival stories, and this layered, thoughtful treatment makes for a book that will stay with readers long after the last page.
- Opportunity to ignite new readers: Sourcebooks has sold more than ONE
- MILLION UNITS across Marieke's YA publishing. This new book sits more closely to the narrative they crafted in #1 NYT bestselling This Is Where It Ends, which is sure to draw new readers as well as current fans.
