With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous Lady Fortune, shes barely left her bedroom in weeks, plotting her next course of action after Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped.

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.

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 mothers traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending foreign invasionbut the clock is ticking, and if Rosalind fails, its not only Orion she loses, but her nation itself.
Recenzja
"
Foul Lady Fortune
had my heart pounding from the first chapter. With brilliant pacing and utterly dynamic characters, Gong transports us to 1930s Shanghai--into a high stakes game of war, love, and espionage--and conquers every page with cinematic precision."
-- "Elizabeth Lim, New York Times bestselling author"
"Amazing, show-stopping, spectacular. Chloe Gong does it again with her fantastical take on the classic Chinese genre of Minguo-era spy thrillers, where no loyalties are certain and no one can be trusted in the shadowy political battle between the Nationalists, communists, and imperialists. A enthralling mystery that is sure to stun as it unravels."
-- "Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author"
"An electrifying, swashbuckling tale of intrigue and assassins, romance and betrayal."
-- " Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author"
"Equal parts intoxicating and dazzling, Gong's newest duology is enchanting and unmissable. Each page is a finely honed blade that goes straight to the heart."
-- "Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author"
"This book is a dark delight. I found myself transported to a different place and time, which is exactly what I look for in my favorite books. Gong's writing is evocative, and her dialogue crackles. Mesmerizing and mysterious in equal turns,
Foul Lady Fortune
is a captivating read, and I look forward to the next installment in the series."
-- "Renée Ahdieh, #1 New York Times bestselling author"
