These Violent Delights
Chloe Gong
…A fantasy retelling of Romeo and Juliet
A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city in chaos. At the center is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper returning to take her place as the heir of the Scarlet Gang. Their rivals, the White Flowers, have been at odds with the Scarlets for generations, with their heir, Roma Montagov, being both Juliette’s first love and first betrayal. When both gangs begin to show signs of a madness that leads to violent deaths, Juliette and Roma must put aside their differences and work together to stop the threat before there is nothing left to rule.
Listen to the captivating audio performance of this story, brought to life by talented voice artist Cindy Kay, who immerses the listener in the richly woven tale of love, betrayal, and danger in a vibrant Shanghai backdrop.
Perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Descendant of the Crane, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, featuring rival gangs and a lurking monster.
