Maya is living her dream in Vienna. First violinist with the prestigious Habsburg Philharmonic, her days are filled with music, her nights with wild parties and passionate, no-strings-attached sex with her colleague, star cellist Lucia Rizzo.

But when Josh—the ex-love of Maya's life—unexpectedly shows up at her door, the perfect world she's built begins to unravel.

Set over a blisteringly hot weekend in a city where ghosts lurk in every alleyway, Since the World Is Ending explores the sacrifices we make and the risks we take when we pour life into our art.

An unforgettable novel about music, consequence, desire, and the importance of love and art in a world on fire by a daring and uniquely compelling young novelist.

About the Author

Indyana Schneider is an international opera singer and novelist from Sydney, Australia. She studied music at Oxford University and opera at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien in Hannover, completing her training at the prestigious International Opera Studio of the Zurich Opera. Indyana now performs full-time across the UK, Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland and Australia. 

Between her music studies, Indyana wrote her debut novel, 28 Questions, on the tube while working in Development in London's third sector. Her second novel, Since the World is Ending, was drafted in countless airports, train stations and friends' living rooms as her singing career took her around the world. 

When not writing or performing, she is a keen and clumsy salsa dancer, a messy cook and a short-distance runner.
