Foul Lady Fortune Summary

Foul Lady Fortune: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong

Assassin. Immortal. Spy.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An ill-matched pair of spies pose as a couple to investigate a series of murders in 1930s Shanghai, from the author of THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS.

Four years ago, Rosalind Lang was saved from the brink of death. Now she doesn't sleep or age - and can heal from any wound. In short, Rosalind cannot die. Desperate for redemption from her traitorous past, she works as an assassin for her country.

Code name: Fortune.

When a series of murders causes unrest in Shanghai, Rosalind's mission pivots. Ordered to infiltrate foreign society and identify the culprits, she must pose as the wife of another spy, Orion Hong, to reduce suspicion.

Although Rosalind finds Orion's cavalier attitude and playboy demeanor infuriating, she agrees to work with him for the greater good. But Orion has an agenda of his own, and Rosalind has secrets she wants to keep buried. Soon, the two spies will find there is more to this mystery than they ever imagined . . .

Foul Lady Fortune Reviews

Raw, thrilling and dizzyingly romantic, Foul Lady Fortune is a marvel * Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches *
Foul Lady Fortune is a rich and thrilling web of covert identities and competing ideologies, with a devastating slow-burn romance at its core. Gong has crafted an absolutely gripping and wonderfully confident start to a new series * Sunya Mara, author of The Darkening *
An absolute fireball of a book. This is an impeccably slick murder mystery entangled in the backstabbing, claustrophobic world of spies and political machinations ... leaves you scheming, theorising and obsessing * The Nerd Daily *
In the usual style of conspiracy thrillers, it contains rather a lot to keep up with: a large cast of characters, some with more than one name, some of them working for more than one side. But Chloe Gong unfolds it all with care ... over time, the reader becomes properly invested in her cast of young agents with messy lives * SFX *
Filled with secrets, conspiracy and romance, this evocative slice of historical fiction from the author of These Violent Delights sees a young assassin fight for the greater good in 1930s Shanghai * Waterstones *
I love a period piece and I love a little bit of fantasy in my books. Chloe Gong has been able to mix the two in her novels that are set in early 1900s Shanghai * Stellar.ie *
When a story is this pacey and captivating, with such beautifully written characters, why wouldn't you want to read every book that shapes the world they exist in? * Culturefly *
