MASS MURDER and
MAGIC: what  happens
when creatures of fantasy
face the horrors of the
modern world?

A young Irish witch travels
to Shanghai with two
brothers, one a heartsick
soldier, the other a powerful
but self-destructive magician.

Opium pirates, sensual
shape-shifters, and decadent
expatriates are entangled in
a civil war that will kill more
than 20 million people...and
the still-hungry ghost of the
First Emperor of China is
all too comfortable with this
new genocidal world...
