'The end of this book had me GASPING I am now desperate to read the next'Reader Review

Romance, politics and power meld in this pulse-pounding, enemies-to-lovers epic fantasy romance retelling of Antony and Cleopatra, set amid a deadly city-wide Battle Royale game.

WIN, OR DIE TRYING.

Five years ago, Princess Calla vowed to tear down San-Er's tyrannical monarchy. First, she killed her parents. Now her sights are set on her uncle: the remaining, reclusive king. The only way to reach him is to enter his deadly games, and be crowned the winner by his hand.

Anton Makusa's childhood love lies in a coma, and he is deep in debt trying to keep her alive. His last chance at saving her is winning the games.

When the two form an uneasy alliance, victory is soon within their reach. But as their mutual attraction proves increasingly undeniable, Calla must decide what she's playing for ­- her lover or her kingdom.

Praise for this book

"Gripping, bewildering, irresistible, Chloe Gong's Immortal Longings is a tour de force of Asian Futurism, a provocative examination of self and destiny that melds the ruthless sensuality of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with the visceral urgency of The Hunger Games. This book left me breathless!" - Ryka Aoki

"I'm a simple girl: I see Chloe Gong, I read. She never disappoints, breathing fresh life into familiar tales that somehow still surprise, and in her adult debut Gong has taken her pitch-perfect characterisation, vivid worldbuilding, and ability to gut-wrench readers with a single line to new heights. Prepare for a read that will leave your heart as bloody as the contestants of the deadly San-Er games." - Natasha Ngan

"Immortal Longings is a grab-you-and-won't-let-go sort of book, as brutal and merciless as its characters. Everyone has secret plans, and everyone's life exists on the edge of betrayal. Each page is fierce and filled with yearning - I loved it." - Andrea Stewart
