Samsara by Alexandra Jones transports readers to late 19th century Tibet, then a mysterious and geopolitically charged realm. British surveyor Lewis Joyden, masquerading as a Buddhist monk, ventures into the Forbidden City amid the “Great Game.” He meets Russian princess Sonya Vremya, searching for her missing brother and seeking a divorce. Against harsh landscapes and imperial rivalries, their rekindled attraction deepens. Between espionage and forbidden love, the novel blends adventure, political tension and exotic atmosphere across Tibet’s sacred valleys.
