A young historian arrives in Shanghai to study the Silk Road.
He never expects it to change his life.
Nathan joins an international research program exploring the history and modern legacy of one of the world's greatest trade routes. His work is supposed to focus on trade, culture, and the growing importance of the New Silk Road.
Instead, it leads him somewhere far less predictable.
From the vibrant streets of Shanghai to the ancient cities and forgotten settlements of Kazakhstan, Nathan finds himself drawn into a world where history is far more than a subject to be studied. It lives in ruined cities, remarkable discoveries, family stories, and legends passed from one generation to the next.
As he follows clues connected to the Silk Road's past, Nathan encounters archaeologists, students, collectors, and people whose lives have been shaped by history in unexpected ways. New friendships are formed. New questions emerge. And a mystery hidden beneath centuries of history begins to reveal itself.
But some discoveries attract dangerous attention.
As questions surrounding a remarkable historical artifact begin to surface, Nathan realizes that not everyone interested in the past is searching for the truth. The deeper he ventures into the mystery, the harder it becomes to separate truth from legend, friend from foe, and curiosity from obsession.
Yet the journey becomes about more than ancient secrets.
It becomes a journey through cultures, through memory, and through the lives of people connected by a history far greater than themselves.
Rich with adventure, mystery, history, and emotion, Tourist of the Silk Road takes readers from modern Shanghai to the legendary cities of the Silk Road in Kazakhstan, weaving together archaeology, friendship, love, loss, and discovery into an unforgettable story.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:- Historical mysteries
