Genres collide in this dark and atmospheric reimagining of 1930s Shanghai for fans of Nghi Vo and S.
Jingwen will have to become something far stranger and more dangerous than her grandmother ever imagined if she hopes to survive the forces waiting to sell Shanghai\'s bones..
In this treacherous realm of tangled alliances and ancient grudges, silver-armed gangsters haunt every alley, foreign playboys broker deals in exclusive back rooms, and the power of gods is wielded and traded like yuan.
Fighting not just for her own safety but that of the other dancers--women who have simultaneously been her bitterest rivals and only friends--Jingwen has no choice but to delve into the city\'s underworld.
And as the faces of the dancers start appearing on wealthy foreign socialites, she realizes Shanghai\'s glittering mirage of carefree luxury comes at a terrible price.
When a series of cabaret dancers are targeted--the attacker stealing their faces--Jingwen fears she could be next.
A position her grandmother is pressuring her to inherit...
To cap off her shifts, she runs money for her grandmother, the exclusive surgeon to the most powerful gang in the city.
Jingwen spends her nights as a showgirl at the Paramount, one of the most lavish clubs in Shanghai, competing ruthlessly to charm wealthy patrons.
