Travel to 1926 Shanghai in this bewitching Romeo and Juliet retelling. Eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai has claimed her rightful place as head of the Scarlet Gang, one of two powerful criminal organizations holding the city in their chaotic grip. Her rivals, the White Flowers, are led by Roma Montagov—Juliet’s first love and first betrayal. But when gangsters on both sides start mysteriously clawing their own throats out, people get nervous. What is causing this escalating madness, and why does it seem to be contagious? As the death toll rises, Roma and Juliette must set their dark history aside to figure out what’s going on. After all, there will be no city left for either of them to rule if everyone is dead. Join Generation Z debut author Chloe Gong and Queens of Innis Lear author Tessa Gratton as they discuss this atmospheric historical fantasy imbued with themes of gender, sexuality, and imperialism.
