In glittering Shanghai, a monster awakens in the year 1926 amidst a blood feud between two gangs, the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers. Juliette Cai, heir of the Scarlet Gang, and Roma Montagov, from the White Flowers, find themselves entangled in a deadly madness that threatens the city. As they face romance, intrigue, and betrayal, they must work together to save Shanghai from destruction. This heart-stopping fantasy retelling of Romeo and Juliet is filled with suspense and is perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Descendant of the Crane.
