These Violent Delights

Chloe Gong • 2020 • Violent Ends duology

Overview

Shanghai, 1926. The city is split between two rival gangs: the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers. Juliette Cai, heir to the Scarlets, returns from America and must work with her former lover Roma Montagov, heir to the White Flowers, when a madness-inducing monster threatens both their territories.
