Roma and Juliette must put aside their differences to combat monsters and politics, but they aren't prepared for the biggest threat of all: protecting their hearts from each other. Shanghai is already at a boiling point: The Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war brew louder every day, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. A squalling babe is lifted high above a bloodied featherbed to the sounds of dragons roaring outside.

Then a new monstrous danger emerges in the city, and though secrets keep them apart, Juliette must secure Roma's cooperation if they are to end this threat once and for all. Princess Rhaenyra had been labouring for near three days when screams finally breached the maidenvault. Roma knows it's his fault for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and he's determined to set things right-even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure. Roma is still reeling from Marshall's death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. If Juliette were actually guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection might sting less. The only way to save the boy she loves from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for murdering his best friend in cold blood. One wrong move, and her cousin will step in to usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang's heir. After sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on the warpath. of Pages: 494 Trigger Warnings Blood, violence, gore, character deaths, murder (including mass murder), war themes, torture, weapon use, insects, alcohol consumption, parental abuse.
