After We Burned

About After We Burned By Marieke Nijkamp

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.
