About this series
"Murder in Transit" – the latest electrifying novella in the "Endless Horizons" series – takes readers on a perilous journey through the heart of the Duinna Empire. Newly elevated peer Lady Janali faces her most daunting challenge yet, not on the high seas or in the skies, but within the confines of the royal train.
As Janali travels to the capital with the Empress and a cadre of imperial peers, she finds herself entangled in a web of political intrigue. Surrounded by hostility and suspicion, her temporary peerage hangs by a thread, with the House of Ladies poised to cast their decisive votes. The royal train, a symbol of imperial majesty, becomes a stage for power plays and silent battles.
But the treacherous journey takes a sinister turn when a heinous murder shatters the illusion of safety. The victim? The highly influential Duchess, a vocal opponent of Janali's elevation. The accused? Janali's own servant. With the train hurtling towards the capital, Janali must navigate the murky waters of aristocratic politics to uncover the truth.
Trapped in a moving fortress with the murderer, Janali races against time to solve the crime. Every peer a suspect, every conversation a potential clue, the tension mounts as alliances form and secrets unravel. The solution to the murder is as unexpected as it is bizarre, challenging Janali's wit and ingenuity like never before.
"Murder in Transit" is a gripping tale of suspense, set against the backdrop of a steampunk empire. It's a story of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Join Lady Janali as she confronts her most intricate puzzle yet – one that could seal her fate in the empire's elite or mark her downfall.
