Synopsis

AN ATMOSPHERIC NATURE HORROR NOVEL FROM AMY GOLDSMITH, PERFECT FOR FANS OF HOUSE OF HOLLOW.

A teen girl's dream job aboard a luxury train derails when she discovers that the strange cargo being transported - a mysterious and beautiful greenhouse - hides deadly thorns . . .

When Lara Williams gets a summer job aboard the luxury train the Banebury, she thinks she's landed a five-star escape from her past. Even after she learns that her ex-friend Rhys, who she definitely did not have feelings for before their relationship imploded, is one of her co-workers, she's determined to make things work.

But on the first day of their journey, the trip takes a strange turn. Two mysterious carriages filled with an array of beautiful and rare plants are attached to the Banebury in the middle of the night.

And with them comes a pair of siblings. Wealthy, mysterious, and charismatic, Gwen and Gwydion claim the plants they're transporting are for research, but Lara can't shake the feeling that there's something . . . otherworldly about the strange blooms. Something that will stop at nothing to ensure the Banebury never reaches its destination.

Soon Lara will learn: You can't outrun your troubles. You have to grab them by their roots. And if she can't unearth the secrets of the Banebury, they might drag her down for good . . .

The gripping new novel from Amy Goldsmith, the author of Those We Drown.
