ABOUT&nbsp;VILEST THINGS Chloe Gong returns with power plays, spilled blood, and lethal romance in the thrilling fantasy sequel to&nbsp;New York Times and&nbsp;USA TODAY&nbsp;bestseller&nbsp;Immortal Longings, inspired by Shakespeare’s&nbsp;Antony and Cleopatra. Calla Tuoleimi has succeeded in the impossible. Despite the odds, she has won San-Er’s bloody games and eliminated King Kasa, her tyrant uncle and the former ruler of Talin. She now serves as royal advisor to Kasa’s adopted son, August Shenzhi, who has risen to the throne. Only Calla knows it isn’t really August. Anton Makusa is still furious about Calla’s betrayal in the final round of the games. In an impossible feat, he took over August’s body to survive and has no intention of giving up this newfound power. But when his first love, the beautiful, explosive Otta Avia, awakens from a yearslong coma and reveals a secret that threatens the monarchy’s authority over Talin, chaos erupts. As tensions come to a boiling point, Calla and Anton must set their conflicts aside and head to the kingdom’s far reaches to prevent anarchy...even if their empire might be better off burning. PRAISE FOR&nbsp;VILEST THINGS “Ferociously savage and full of the most delicious twists, Vilest Things&nbsp;lives up to all my highest and most unhinged expectations." &nbsp; —Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches "The only thing hotter than a character written by Chloe Gong is a betrayal written by Chloe Gong. The scale of world-building and depths of romantic hostility grabbed me by the throat (and I said thank you)." &nbsp;—Olivie Blake, internationally bestselling author of&nbsp;The Atlas Six “Dark, dazzling, and deliciously depraved, Chloe Gong pulls no punches in this heart-pounding sequel to&nbsp;Immortal Longings. The prose is as smart and lethally sharp as the characters, the tension is palpable on every page, and the twists will leave you breathless. To say I’m obsessed would be an understatement.” &nbsp;—Ann&nbsp;Liang,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;A Song to Drown Rivers "Vilest Things&nbsp;is another cutthroat classic from the amazing Chloe Gong." &nbsp;—Tasha Suri, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Burning Kingdoms trilogy "I blew straight through this book, and I wish I could go back and read it again from scratch. Gong's first venture into adult fantasy, set in a claustrophobic, low-tech city where life is cheap and bodies are disposable, features wonderfully complex characters and a game to the death that is executed with aplomb.&nbsp;Immortal Longings&nbsp;is a lot of fun, with twists you won't see coming until right before the hammer drops." —Rebecca Roanhorse,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of the Between Earth and Sky trilogy ABOUT THE AUTHORS Chloe Gong&nbsp;is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the critically acclaimed&nbsp;Secret Shanghai&nbsp;novels, as well as the&nbsp;Flesh and False Gods&nbsp;trilogy.
