The high school is on fire. Aaron Smith, the local bad boy, is arrested at the scene. He’s locked up by the end of the night, guilty until proven innocent. Only two people know the truth about what happened; Aaron and his little sister. Aaron will do anything to save his sister, including going to prison without a trial. But then the pandemic comes to Scotland, and trials are cancelled. Aaron finds himself locked up, in a lockdown, and no one is able to help him.
Blood Red Sky is a story of love, loss, humour and hope and makes you wonder; what should we do with teenagers who cross the line? Should we lock them up, or take time to find out the truth?
©2025 Arkbound (P)2026 Sara WilliamsonBlood Red Sky is a powerful story that follows Aaron, a teenager who ends up locked up for a crime he didn't commit.
Set during the pandemic, it's a story about family, friendship, loyalty, trauma and hope.
What I loved most about this book was how real it felt. Sara's background in child welfare and trauma-informed practices shines through.
She writes with compassion - giving a genuine insight into how poverty, hunger, family challenges and trauma can shape a young person's life.
The young offenders institution setting felt authentic and despite some difficult themes, there is an overall feeling of hope.
Daniel Shanks was a great choice of narrator. His Scottish accent helped bring the characters and setting to life.
Raw, thought-provoking and full of heart. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
A Powerful and Thought-Provoking Debut Novel from Sara Cullen.
