From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends
comes the “fast-paced…impressive” ( Kirkus Reviews ) second book in the captivating Foul Lady
Fortune duology following an immortal assassin in 1930s Shanghai as she races to save her
country and her love. Winter is drawing thick in 1932 Shanghai as is the ever-nearing threat
of a Japanese invasion. Rosalind Lang has suffered the worst possible fate for a national
spy: she’s been exposed. With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous
Lady Fortune she’s barely left her bedroom in weeks plotting her next course of action after
Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped. Though their marriage might have been a
sham his absence hurts her more than any physical wound. She won’t rest until she gets him
back. But with her identity in the open the task is near impossible. The only way to leave
the city and rescue Orion is under the guise of a national tour. It’s easy to convince her
superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever and who better than an immortal girl
to stir pride and strength into the people? When the tour goes wrong however everything
Rosalind once knew is thrown up in the air. Taking refuge outside Shanghai old ghosts come
into the open and adversaries turn to allies. To save Orion they must find a cure to his
mother’s traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending
foreign invasion—but the clock is ticking and if Rosalind fails it’s not only Orion she loses
but her nation itself.
