From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent
Delights and Our Violent Ends comes the 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.
