After surviving the sinking of the SS Lark, teens Wick, Emery, and Neeta reunite–this time aboard a haunted train through Europe. Emery, on his own after the events of Hunger's Bite, has landed a job with Goldfinch, the sketchy supernatural investigative organization that also employs the young vampire Wick Farley. Their first mission: board the experimental train the Arion Express to locate and neutralize the dangerous entity known only as the Lady. When the agents get aboard, though, they discover that Neeta is there too–and she seems to be working for the Lady… What follows is a caper where intrigue, apparitions, and mythological beings pop up as the train twists its way to a runaway conclusion. Taylor Robin's dynamic comics art, with its trademark vibrant coloring, delivers for a perfect follow up to the excellently reviewed (five starred reviews!) Hunger's Bite.
