About this book

Martha Macnamara travels to San Francisco after receiving mysterious contact from her missing daughter, Elizabeth. At her hotel, she meets Mayland Long, a wealthy Chinese man who offers to help her search. The two form a quick connection, but before they can find Elizabeth, Martha herself disappears. Maryland Long—whose true nature remains unknown to those around him—embarks on a dangerous search through San Francisco, a city undergoing rapid technological transformation in what would become Silicon Valley. The novel blends ancient mythology with modern technology, set against a contemporary backdrop. Tea with the Black Dragon received nominations for the Nebula, Hugo, World Fantasy, and Philip K. Dick Awards, and earned R. A. MacAvoy the John W. Campbell Best New Writer award.
