Tella immediately leaves for the race, intent on helping her brother. Then Tella gets a small blue box with a white earpiece inside, inviting her to join the Brimstone Bleed - with the ultimate prize of the Cure for her brother. Her older brother is desperately sick and the doctors can't find the reason. The worst she's ever encountered was being forced to move to Montana in the middle of nowhere with her family. One of these Contenders and our leading lady is Tella Holloway. 'Fire & Flood' is the first book in a new YA science fiction thriller that follows the Brimstone Bleed - a race where Contenders strive to win the Cure, which promises to heal the person they love - who they are competing for - who is sick. Victoria Scott's breathtaking novel grabs readers by the throat and doesn't let go. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place? The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. 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. 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. Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying-and she's helpless to change anything.

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. What would you do to save someone you love?
