Chloe Gong’s adult epic fantasy debut, inspired by Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, is a gripping tale of power, bloodshed, and romance set against a backdrop of deadly games. Each year, thousands flock to the twin cities of San-Er in the kingdom of Talin, where competitors engage in lethal contests for unimaginable riches. Princess Calla Tuoleimi has been in hiding since a massacre claimed her parents and left the palace of Er empty—she was responsible for their deaths. Determined to bring down the monarchy, she aims to win the games to confront her uncle, who greets the victor. Enter Anton Makusa, an exiled aristocrat whose childhood love is in a coma, and who is burdened by debt. As one of the kingdom's best jumpers, he sees the games as his last chance to save her. Calla forms an unexpected alliance with Anton and receives aid from King Kasa’s adopted son, August, who seeks to heal Talin’s wounds. However, their goals diverge, and as Calla and Anton’s partnership deepens, she faces a critical choice between her love and her kingdom. The stakes are high, and the outcome will determine the fate of all involved.
