Description
DIVERGENT meets MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA in this dark YA thriller set within the walls of a lawless slum city where Jin Ling searches for her lost sister and Dai struggles to complete an impossible mission.
Disguised as a boy, Jin Ling searches for her missing sister, Mei Yee,
who was sold into the brothels of the Walled City. It's a cut-throat
world of gangs, drug-dealers and warlords and every day is a struggle to
survive. Jin Ling relies on her speed and cunning but how long will her
luck hold? When a mysterious boy, Dai, requests her help with a
dangerous mission Jin Ling's inclined to say no - this is a world where
no one can be trusted - but the mission offers her a vital chance to see
inside the brothel where her sister may be being held.
Jin Ling
and Dai join forces, but will either of them survive the mission? Is Mei
Yee still alive? And how will any of them ever escape the stifling city
walls?
With a fantasy setting inspired by Kowloon Walled City,
Hong Kong, Ryan's novel has a rich authenticity and an intense
atmosphere, and its pace will enthral the reader from the very first
page.
