Ann Liang: To Dream in Darkness, Gebunden

Blurb

Two gods strike a bargain that leads them on a journey with devastating consequences in this lush historical fantasy from New York Timesbestselling author Ann Liang.

China in the age of brilliance, where gods freely wander the three realms. Amongst them is the cruel and beautiful Death God, who has never failed to collect a soul on time. Until now. For when he seeks out Rujia, the noble god of healing-she makes him an offer he can't refuse: she will help lift the excruciating curse placed upon him if he gives her a one-month reprieve.

Rujia's deal with Death is merely an excuse to buy herself time. But when her plan causes the Celestial Palace's collapse and the beloved crown prince's disappearance, she and Death are both held responsible. The only way to avoid the wrath of all the other gods is to travel across the realms and safely retrieve the crown prince themselves.

As the unlikely alliance between them blooms into more, and Death's resolve to kill Rujia weakens by the day, neither can outrun their intertwined fate without devastating consequences . . .
