The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city in chaos. Juliette Cai is the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang - a network of criminals far above the law. Roma Montagov is the prodigal son of her greatest rivals, the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. He is also Juliette's first love . . . and first betrayal. When a deadly madness strikes gangsters on both sides, the people start to whisper. Of a contagion, and a monster in the shadows. And as the deaths stack up, Juliette and Roma must set their guns - and grudges - aside and work together. For if they can't stop this mayhem, there will be no city left to rule.

The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution. Juliette has been a girl on the warpath. One wrong move, and her cousin will usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang's heir. The only way to protect Roma, and herself, is to let the boy she loves believe she murdered his best friend in cold blood. Roma is still reeling from Marshall's death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. Roma blames himself for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and he's determined to set things right - even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure. Then a new monstrous danger emerges in the city. Shanghai is at boiling point: the Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war are brewing, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. Roma and Juliette must put aside their differences to combat monsters and politics, but they aren't prepared for the biggest threat of all: protecting their hearts from each other
