The games are over. Let chaos reign.

Calla Tuoleimi has done the impossible. Against all odds, she 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 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 awakens from a years-long coma and reveals a secret that threatens the monarchy, chaos erupts.

As tensions come to a boiling point, Calla and Anton will have to journey to the kingdom's furthest reaches to prevent anarchy - before their real identities are exposed . . .

Critics Review

PRAISE FOR CHLOE GONG
Ferociously savage and full of the most delicious twists, Vilest Things lives up to all my highest and most unhinged expectations
Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Dark, dazzling, and deliciously depraved, Chloe Gong pulls no punches in this heart-pounding sequel to 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
Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of A Song to Drown Rivers
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)
Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
A knife-sharp sequel smoldering with vengeance and intrigue. Chloe Gong does not pull her punches, and you'll thank her for the pain
Heather Walter, award-winning author of Malice
Immortal Longings is a grab-you-and-won't-let-go sort of book, as brutal and merciless as its characters
Andrea Stewart, author of The Drowning Empire trilogy
Gripping, bewildering, irresistible, Chloe Gong's Immortal Longings is a tour de force of Asian Futurism
Ryka Aoki, author of Light From Uncommon Stars
Vilest Things is another cutthroat classic from the amazing Chloe Gong
Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Burning Kingdoms trilogy
A fast-paced adventure, balancing each of the main characters' dubious morality with the tension of the prior relationships Anton had with both Calla and Otta. Readers will excitedly await the next adventure
Booklist
Smart, imaginative, and brutal, Immortal Longings is a mind- and genre-bending epic that is as cutting and honest as it is unpredictable
Wesley Chu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The War Arts Saga
