Paris Celestial – Exclusive Edition

A.Y. Chao

Now a Minister of Hell, Lady Jing is mind-numbingly bored. All she wants is plain talk and time with her beau Tony Lee, who has been distracted with mortal matters of late (impending war is such a drag).

But then Aengus, a visiting Celtic deity, turns up boneless and drained of yin qi. The only way to help him is to return him to his pantheon’s healer, in residence in Paris. Ready for a new adventure, Jing immediately volunteers for the task…

We are so happy to present to you… the ‘Paris Celestial’ Exclusive Edition brought to you in collaboration with @ay_chao and @hodderscape!

Get ready to dive into a dazzling yet dangerous world of celestial spirits! In supernatural Paris, a hidden community governed by ancient, mystical rules will put personal and moral challenges to the test.

About the author

A.Y. Chao

Alice is the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal, the first in a trilogy following charmingly profane half-fox spirit, half-vampire Lady Jing.

She’s lived in Calgary, Taipei, Paris, Stockholm, Beijing, London, and Hong Kong, where she’s been interloper, compatriot, tourist, and foreigner. As a result of her experiences, she’s fascinated by the interplay between self-perceived versus imposed identity and how this intersects with belonging, themes she enjoys exploring in her stories.

A recovering lawyer and xiaolongbao enthusiast, Alice now lives in London with her family.
