Vampires of Shanghai (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994064610)

A dark, gothic fantasy of obsession, survival, and the dangerous duality of love-perfect for fans of A Dowry of Blood and Certain Dark Things.

Lian Zhang has ruled Shanghai for decades, weaving power from charisma, cutthroat pragmatism, and an empire built on human blood. To be chosen by her is both privilege and prison, her affection as addictive as it is suffocating.

Mina Park knows this better than anyone. Once Lian's favored fledgling, now her reluctant captive, Mina dreams of freedom in a city where blood is currency and loyalties are lethal. But resisting Lian means more than defiance-it means rejecting the allure of the only person who has ever truly seen her.

Meanwhile, Javier Robles, a human donor searching for his sister, arrives in Shanghai armed with certainty-about right and wrong, about monsters and victims, about the kind of man he believes himself to be. Helping Mina and surviving a city designed to devour will strip those beliefs away one by one, forcing him to confront destabilizing truths about his own past, along with a legacy he never meant to inherit.

Power. Devotion. Ruin.
