Steeped in Chinese history and mythos, Shanghai Immortal is a richly told adult fantasy debut set in 1930s Shanghai.Pawned as a child by her absent fox-spirit mother to the King of Hell, Lady Jing is half-vampire, half-fox-spirit and all sasshole. As the King's ward, Jing has spent the past ninety years running errands and dodging - not always successfully - the bruising taunts of the fox-spirit courtiers. So when Jing overhears the courtiers plotting to steal the King's priceless pink dragon pearl, she seizes her chance to expose those vixens for once and for all . . . With plenty of hork and attitude - and the help of a gentle mortal tasked with setting up the Central Bank of Hell - Lady Jing embarks on a wild chase for clues, first through Hell and then mortal Shanghai.But when her hijinks put the mortal in danger, she must decide which is more important: avenging her loss of face, or letting go of her half-empty, always-hangry approach to life for a chance to experience tenderness - and maybe even love.
