“A deeply humane and genre-defying work of love and uncompromising hope.” —Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous and Time Is a Mother
There are the goodbyes and then the fishing out of the bodies—everything in between is speculation.
After the last American troops leave Vietnam, siblings Anh, Minh, and Thanh journey to Hong Kong with the promise that their parents and younger siblings will soon follow. But when tragedy strikes, the three children are left orphaned, and sixteen-year-old Anh becomes the caretaker for her two younger brothers overnight.
In the years that follow, Anh and her brothers immigrate to the UK, living first in overcrowded camps and resettlement centers and then, later, in a modernizing London plagued by social inequality. Anh works in a factory to pay the bills. Minh loiters about with fellow high school dropouts. Thanh, the youngest, plays soccer with his friends after class. As they mature, each sibling reckons with survivor’s guilt, unmoored by their parents’ absence. And with every choice, their paths diverge further, until it’s unclear if love alone can keep them together.
Told through lyrical narrative threads, historical research, voices from lost family, and notes by an unnamed narrator determined to chart these siblings’ fates, Wandering Souls captures the lives of a family marked by loss yet relentless in the pursuit of a better future. With urgency and precision, it affirms that the most important stories are those we claim for ourselves, establishing Cecile Pin as a masterful new literary voice.

About the book
Jack Morgan is a teenage fugitive with a price on his head. Draycos is a dragonlike alien warrior who lives on Jack’s skin as a golden, ever-shifting tattoo.
Together, they’ve survived mercenaries, space battles, and near-death missions. Now they’re infiltrating a Brummga estate—posing as slave and property—to expose a conspiracy threatening Draycos’s entire species.

It’s dangerous. It’s dirty. And it’s their only shot at finding the truth.
In this third Dragonback adventure from Timothy Zahn, loyalty runs deep, the stakes are sky-high, and freedom may cost more than either of them is ready to pay.
