Aaron Pace came to Shanghai seeking a fresh start. One bad hand at a rigged poker game led him to the hidden world where ghost courtesans seduce men like him, harvesting chi for Shanghai's elite, who will pay anything for eternal youth. Bound by fox spirit magic, Willow has followed the punishing rules of Shanghai's supernatural underworld for centuries. Seducing someone like Aaron would be easy. The only problem? One look at him, and something dead inside her awakens—her heart. When passion becomes the purpose, words become weapons. Aaron, a man with a gentle smile and a fierce heart, refuses to become just another conquest. He will do anything to save Willow. He will wage wars on the living and the dead. He will burn down worlds for her. Legends of the Middle Kingdom Book One: THE LONGING. An addictive supernatural mystery romance that breaks every tired trope, blending edge-of-your-seat mystery with slow-burn romance, served in imperial feast proportions. Weaving Eastern mysticism with sizzling contemporary passion, this story will possess you—body, mind, and soul. Perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab and Karen Marie Moning who crave stories with supernatural depth.
