What you need to know before your trail

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…

Travel Guide

The Rockies

Nowhere

“They find things at Nowhere after the fire. There is a gurney; there are metal trays of instruments, there is a drain in the centre of the floor like the ones in abattoirs. There is a small darkroom adjoining , and the walls are covered with the photographs of boys who will never see the sun again. The pet graveyard is not for pets after all.”
