Description
The Wanderlands Chronicles universe is a frozen wasteland, taking place after climate change froze over Earth and the citizens cowered into the tallest volcano known as the Pyre for warmth. Slowly they would rediscover technology and attempt to conquer the frozen world with the invention of the trackless train.
Rise of the Wanderers is sweeping, action-orientated, speculative fiction that follows Ruby ‘the Ruthless’ who has been forced by the Authority Government to kill the last Wanderer, John Bergensen, in return for her children’s freedom.
The only problem? John is her ex-husband and the last representation of the only thing that matters to the citizens of the Wanderlands: hope, survival, and freedom in the otherwise tyrannically controlled world of the Authority. Torn between saving her children and freeing herself and the Wanderlands from the Authority’s control, Ruby leans on her current lover, as well as the crew on her trackless train, The Old Betty. And together, full steam ahead, she decides to launch an assault on John Bergensen and his crew.
What follows is a classic tale of love and betrayal, spine-tingling action, and eventual gut-wrenching defeat. In the end, Ruby will make the ultimate sacrifice by losing her lover, her crew, and even her children, to free the citizens of the Wanderlands once and for all.

Sue E, Reviewer
An exhilarating work of speculative fiction that enthralls readers from the very first page. The author skillfully crafts a frozen dystopian world, where the remnants of humanity are confined to the Pyre, their only refuge against the frigid landscape. Ruby, a strong and complex protagonist, is torn between her duty to the Authority and her love for John, the last Wanderer. The story pulsates with tension, as Ruby must navigate treacherous terrain, both physical and emotional, to fulfill her mission. The action sequences are electrifying, leaving readers on the edge of their seats. With its themes of love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of freedom, Rise of the Wanderers is an absolute must-read for fans of dystopian fiction.
