Flesh & False Gods
Chloe Gong · 3 novels · 2023–2026
Immortal Longings, the opener of Chloe Gong's Flesh & False Gods trilogy, draws on Antony and Cleopatra and the history of Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City for a story of body-hopping combatants fighting for survival inside a deadly competition, against a backdrop of court intrigue between rival cousins for the throne. Vilest Things and the forthcoming Eyes of Kings continue the trilogy's blend of romantasy and political scheming.
