These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong is the first novel in the These Violent Delights Duet, a dark historical fantasy and romantic retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 920s Shanghai. In 926, Shanghai is divided between two powerful rival criminal organizations: the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers. Eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, heir to the Scarlet Gang, returns to the city after years abroad to reclaim her position within her family.

Her greatest rival is Roma Montagov, heir to the White Flowers and Juliette’s former love. But when members of both gangs begin behaving violently and inexplicably, tearing at their own throats and dying in horrific circumstances, rumors spread about a strange contagion and a monster lurking beneath the Huangpu River. Juliette and Roma are forced to put aside their rivalry and work together to uncover the source of the madness before it destroys the city they both call home.
