A pulse-pounding thrill ride, where a teen girl must participate in a breathtaking race to save her brother's life - and her own.
Time is slipping away...
Tella Holloway is losing it. Her
brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can't determine what's wrong,
her parents decide to move to the middle of nowhere for the fresh air.
She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother
is dying - and she's helpless to change anything.
Until she
receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the
Brimstone Bleed. It's an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and
mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure
for her brother's illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there's no guarantee that Tella (or any of them)
will survive the race.
The jungle is terrifying, the clock is
ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. And one
big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place?
Victoria Scott's breathtaking novel grabs readers by the throat and doesn't let go.
