These Violent Delights

Chloe Gong

In 1927 Shanghai, Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov are divided by betrayal, grief, and the violent blood feud between their rival criminal families. As political unrest threatens to overturn the city and a terrifying new monster stalks its streets, the estranged heirs must join forces despite their determination to destroy—or resist—their feelings for one another. Blending the tragic tension of Romeo and Juliet with richly atmospheric historical fantasy, this gripping sequel explores loyalty, sacrifice, revolution, and the devastating cost of love.
