Railway Between Realms by AJ VALOR
Railway Between Realms is a cozy fantasy for anyone who has ever suspected the best part of life happens just one thought, or one train ride away.
Genevieve is a master of patterns: the beeping heart monitors, the fluorescent hum of an Intensive Care Unit that runs on caffeine and endless duty. As an ICU nurse, she’s an expert at holding reality together, often at the expense of her own. But after years spent triaging the life-and-death stakes of others, the universe decides her world has grown too small.
One exhausted night, her reality shifts. A mysterious, impossible train named the Wayfarer Line—appears where a station was demolished decades ago. It’s a trans-dimensional railway with train cars full of impossible things: infinite libraries, confectionary shops, and an enormous garden.
Genevieve is offered a quiet escape, complete with a guide: Basil, a charming Airedale terrier whose instincts always find mischief. Basil leads her to a portal in a sunlit realm, where they meet magical creatures of every size and shape.
Genevieve knows the rules of reality. She deals in facts, vital signs, and verifiable symptoms. But when Basil's distinct pawprints appear in the dust of her ordinary, crumbling life, proving the magic is real, she faces a choice: stay on the familiar, draining track of professional duty, or follow the dog down a road she can’t possibly explain.
Some doors only open when you’re brave enough to be curious. Climb aboard for an enchanted ride with Genevieve and her magical friends to rediscover childlike awe and wonder.
