' -Sarah Beth Durst Sunday Times bestselling author of The Spellshop Raya is a lost soul going through the motions of life without a dream of her own.

The train's endless journey is a chance for Raya to reimagine her life - but only if she finds her compartment before time runs out. On board Raya meets an intriguing artist named Q and together they race to find their place on the train through a boarding car carpeted in meadow grass and along a dining carriage where passengers picnic on lilypads.
