Perfect for you if...

  • You love epic fantasy with political intrigue and a central romance that actually complicates the plot rather than simplifying it.
  • You've read Chloe Gong's Fuyao duology and want more of her sharp prose, morally grey characters, and settings inspired by real history.
  • You're drawn to Antony and Cleopatra retellings that lean into the messy power dynamics and impossible choices between duty and desire.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a straightforward hero's journey without moral ambiguity. Calla is a parricide with genuine reasons, and the book doesn't ask you to forgive her.
  • You prefer standalone novels. This is book one of a series, and it ends with threads deliberately left hanging.
  • You're uncomfortable with graphic violence. The body-jumping premise means deaths are frequent and inventive, which sets the tone throughout.

About this book

Chloe Gong's adult epic fantasy debut is a Shakespeare retelling inspired by Antony and Cleopatra, set in the kingdom of Talin. Each year, thousands gather in the capital twin cities of San-Er for deadly games where competitors jump between bodies to fight for riches. Princess Calla Tuoleimi has been hiding for five years after a massacre killed her parents and emptied the palace of Er—a massacre she orchestrated. Before King Kasa's forces capture her, she plans to assassinate her reclusive uncle, who greets the games' victor each year. If she wins, she'll have her opportunity. Anton Makusa, an exiled aristocrat, enters the games for different reasons. His childhood love has been in a coma since their exile, and he needs the prize money to keep her alive. As one of the kingdom's best body-jumpers, he has a real chance at winning. Calla forms an unexpected alliance with Anton, and also receives help from August, King Kasa's adopted son, who seeks to improve Talin. However, the three have conflicting goals. As Calla and Anton's partnership deepens, Calla must choose between her personal desires and her kingdom's future.
