Description
Shanghai is under siege in this gripping and intensely romantic sequel to These Violent Delights, which New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan describes as “deliciously dark.” In 1927, as revolution threatens Shanghai, Juliette has been on a relentless path after ending her relationship with Roma to shield him from the blood feud. A single mistake could allow her cousin to seize her position as the Scarlet Gang’s heir. To save Roma from the Scarlets’ wrath, Juliette needs him to believe she killed his best friend in cold blood. If she were truly guilty, Roma’s rejection might hurt less.
Roma, still devastated by Marshall’s death, faces a strained relationship with Benedikt, knowing it’s his fault for letting Juliette back into his life. He’s determined to make things right, even if it means killing the girl he both loves and hates. As a new monstrous threat emerges in the city, Juliette must secure Roma’s help to eliminate it. With Shanghai on the brink—Nationalists advancing, civil war brewing, and gangster rule in peril—Roma and Juliette must unite against monsters and politics while guarding their hearts against each other.
