A NOTE FROM
VICTORIA SCOTT
I
can’t believe how amazing these past couple of weeks has been. Fire & Flood is officially out in
the world, and it’s an incredible feeling. To see it on shelves and hear
readers’ reactions to some of my beloved scenes has provided me heaps of
writing fuel. And this is good news since I’ve been elbow deep in revisions for
book two.
Ah,
the second book. What can I tell you without spoiling the ride? Well, I can say
this—I believe in packing each book with more action than the one preceding it.
I believe in continually raising stakes, testing characters, and strengthening
relationships. There are many scenes in book two that break my heart, and others
that make me laugh. There will be frostbite and avalanches, oceanic storms and
twisted new rules. There will be deaths of beloved characters, and new Pandoras
to adore. And there will be fierce battles between Contenders and Pandoras
alike over the one thing everyone wants—the Cure. For it all comes down to
this:
Who
will be the one to cross the finish line first?
The
answer may surprise you.
Now,
let’s get on with what you’re here for—the first nugget of information about
book two! The official title and release season are…

Fire & Flood (Fire & Flood #1)
A modern day thrill ride, where a teen girl and her animal companion must participate in a breathtaking race to save her brother's life—and her own.
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 Montana 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?
