In this stunning historical fantasy novel reminiscent of Piranesi and The Midnight Library, the Trans-Siberian Express traverses a magical landscape fraught with peril and wonder. Passengers embark seeking marvels of the Wastelands, yet with a whispered warning: a price beyond the ticket.
Zhang Weiwei, a lifelong traveler on the train, faces a journey overshadowed by a mysterious past incident now forgotten. As the train prepares for its next voyage, new passengers join its ranks: Marya Petrovna, grieving and bearing a borrowed identity; Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist seeking redemption; and Elena, a captivating stowaway with an enigmatic tie to the Wastelands.
Weiwei, torn between duty and intrigue, hesitates to report Elena despite the risks. Their clandestine friendship unfolds against a backdrop of shifting rules and growing dangers, hinting at imminent peril for all aboard. As alliances form and betrayals loom, the once-safe confines of the train become fraught with uncertainty.
With evocative prose and intricate world-building, the novel explores themes of trust, identity, and the transformative power of the unknown. As the Wastelands' wildness threatens to engulf them, the passengers must navigate their own secrets and desires while confronting the unpredictable forces of their magical journey.
Drawing praise from Samantha Shannon for its breathtaking mysteries and marvels, the novel promises a gripping exploration of human resilience amidst fantastical landscapes and the haunting allure of the Trans-Siberian Express. 📚❤️
