Immortal Longings - Chloe Gong

Immortal Longings marks Chloe Gong's adult fantasy debut, drawing inspiration from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. Set in the twin cities of San-Er within the kingdom of Talin, the narrative unfolds around a deadly annual competition where participants with the ability to "jump" between bodies fight to the death for unimaginable riches.​

Princess Calla Tuoleimi, in hiding after orchestrating a massacre that claimed her parents' lives, sees the games as her opportunity to eliminate her reclusive uncle, King Kasa. Alongside Anton Makusa, an exiled aristocrat desperate to save his comatose lover, and August, King Kasa's adopted son aiming to reform the kingdom, Calla navigates a web of alliances and betrayals. As the games progress, she must decide whether her loyalty lies with her kingdom or her heart.​
