Five Hours Before the Fire

Can you fight fire with fire? A burning thriller about revenge, love and wanting to turn back time.

When I woke up, I was simply at home in bed. At that moment, I couldn’t remember anything from the past couple of days. No robberies, no police… as if nothing had happened. It was March 22, 2016, exactly five hours before my parents would die. I had five hours to stop the murders from happening.

We want books by and for young adults. That’s why we started a writing competition last year for aspiring writers aged 12 to 18 years old. Three winners were chosen by a professional jury. They were each assigned one of our Clavis authors to make a novel out of their writing. These are their stories.
