Perfect for fans of Lost and survival stories, Nil on Fire is the stunning, fast-paced conclusion to the young adult Nil trilogy by Lynne Matson that will leave readers breathless.

Despite Rives and Skye's attempt to destroy Nil, the island remains. And back in this world, Nil won't let Skye go. Haunted by a darkness she can't ignore, Skye wrestles with Nil nightmares that worsen by the day and threaten to tear her apart. As the island grows in power, Skye fights to keep her mind intact. Soon Skye realizes that to finally break free of Nil, she must end Nil's vicious cycle once and for all--and she can't do it alone.

Who will return to Nil, and in the end, who will survive? In this thrilling final installment of the Nil series, the stakes have never been higher: everyone's fate hangs in the balance, including Nil's own--and Nil will fight to the death. When the full force of the island is unleashed, Skye faces an impossible choice, a cruel one she'd never imagined she'd have to make. As the island's clock ticks away, one Nil truth becomes painfully clear: only one side can win.

Losing isn't an option, but winning will cost Skye everything.

Review:

Praise for the Nil trilogy:

“What elevates this survival romance is Charley's strong, smart character... most readers will be too busy devouring the book in one sitting.” ―Booklist on Nil

“Matson brings a unique twist to a survival story with similarities to the TV reality show Survivor... a strongly written fantasy.” ―VOYA, starred review on Nil

“The reader is swept along with the characters in just rooting for survival in a setting where taking too long to ponder answers could mean you don't live long enough to do anything with your newfound revelations.” ―Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books on Nil

“Rives and Skye’s narratives will ensnare readers quickly. The island setting is akin to William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, but the story of teens working together to escape will appeal to fans of James Dashner’s The Maze Runner.” ―School Library Journal on Nil Unlocked
