About the Book:

Now available in Tunisia at an incredible price, this thrilling novel promises to captivate readers with its blend of romance, mystery, and historical intrigue.

« The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. Amidst the city’s roaring nightlife, a blood feud between two notorious gangs stains the streets red with chaos and violence. At the heart of this turmoil is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, who has returned from America to reclaim her place as the fierce heir of the Scarlet Gang—a powerful criminal empire that operates above the law. Their archrivals, the White Flowers, have battled the Scarlets for generations. Leading the White Flowers is Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love and her most painful betrayal.

As gangsters on both sides start exhibiting signs of madness—clawing their own throats out and succumbing to a mysterious contagion—whispers of a monstrous presence in the shadows spread through the city. Faced with a rising body count and a growing threat, Juliette and Roma must put aside their weapons and their vendetta to confront the terrifying force wreaking havoc in Shanghai. If they fail, the city they both seek to control will be reduced to ruins.

In this electrifying debut, Chloe Gong masterfully reimagines the tale of Romeo and Juliet in the vibrant yet tumultuous setting of 1920s Shanghai. « These Violent Delights » offers a gripping story of love, betrayal, and the desperate fight to save a city on the brink of destruction.
