About this listen

 Now a Minister of Hell, Lady Jing is mind-numbingly bored. All she wants is to escape yin Shanghai and spend time with her mortal beau Tony Lee. So when a visiting Irish deity turns up boneless and drained of qi, Jing offers to deliver him to his pantheon's healer in Paris.

Accompanied by Tony and her friends Gigi and Ah Lang, Jing plans to turn the trip into an impromptu holiday. But Jing's trips seem to be cursed. Last time she left yin Shanghai, her hulijing grandmother abducted her. This time, vampires hijack her train because her other grandmother has designs on her friends.

And as Jing and her friends are drawn into the vampires' schemes, soon Jing is faced with an impossible choice: the family she was born to, or the family she has found along the way . . .©2025 A. Y. Chao Dragons & Mythical Creatures Fantasy

PRAISE FOR A. Y. CHAO
Shanghai Immortal is the must-read debut of 2023, both intensely fun and heart wrenching. A wild ride through a Shanghai you've never seen before
A delightfully wild ride through a fantastical Shanghai filled with rich mythology, endearingly snarky characters, and laugh-aloud mischief. Entertaining from start to finish!
Full of fury, passion, and beauty, this is a debut that will grip you in its fangs and make you bleed-all the while wanting more
Chao has crafted something so utterly original and delightful I couldn't help but fall in love
Charmingly irreverent and led by a protagonist bursting with personality
A brilliant, vibrant world with a joyous, irreverent and chaotic cast of characters. Absolutely rooting for Lady Jing forever
