Foul Lady Fortune

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.

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 *This series takes the trope of fake dating to the next level as the spies start to unravel this action-packed mystery – Kaitlyn Duca * Her Campus *Equal parts intoxicating and dazzling, Gong’s newest duology is enchanting and unmissable.
