A thrilling blend of fantasy and classic murder mystery, this rollicking adventure with a wide cast of suspects is ideal for those who love both Agatha Christie and V. E. Schwab, and are drawn to stories that take place in a vivid fantasy world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Linde siblings—Kellen, Davina, and Morel—are anxious to return to the kingdom of Halgyr before their father dies, leaving Kellen to assume the throne as king. They book tickets on a luxury express train, expecting a swift journey home, but disaster strikes when the train engine explodes, stranding the siblings atop a caldera bubbling with volcanic magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe crash triggers Davina's latent witch powers, but her magic disrupts her ability to remember what she was doing when the explosion took place. While a witch would be the prime suspect for the explosion, the only ones who knew Davina might become one are her brothers—who never warned her, driving her away from them. And, to add insult to injury, somebody is bumping off the surviving train crew and passengers. But it can't be Davina, can it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the surviving passengers try to determine who sabotaged the engine and catch the killer, the fractured siblings attempt to stay one step ahead, concealing not only Davina's powers but their own secrets. Luckily, they aren't the only shifty characters on the train. But that small degree of good fortune quickly sours when powerful men turn up dead, suggesting the saboteur is still at work. And who better a mark for the murderer than the heirs to a foreign throne?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072171491564,"sku":"9781835411582","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13186433482841.jpg?v=1765083308"},{"product_id":"all-we-have-left-by-emily-paxman-9781835417591","title":"All We Have Left","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe world might not have ended all at once. But end it did. Kayla Hollins is a survivor. Living in the fragmented wasteland of the Canadian Pacific Northwest, she’s outlived a colony, a cult, a paramilitary group, and most of her family. So when her younger sister April falls seriously ill, Kayla will do anything to save her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey trek to Salt Spring Island, a beacon of hope in their otherwise brutalised world, which is rumoured to still have a hospital.

And in two years, when Kayla is eligible for citizenship herself, they can get a divorce. Simple, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSid is distant and cranky, but Kayla comes to learn he is also shockingly kind.
