Chloe Gong, author of the These Violent Delights series, makes her adult debut with "Immortal Longings," a cutthroat fantasy novel inspired by Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. The city of San-Er knows the city games are coming. 86 will enter, and only one will survive, earning them the riches of a lifetime and a way out of the crumbling city. Calla is entering the games with one goal only: to kill the king. Meanwhile, Anton is entering to earn enough money to save a loved one, and Prince August is manipulating the games with hopes of catapulting himself onto the throne. In a world where one can leave your body behind in exchange for another, and the only way to survive is competing in a fight-to-the-death game, no one can be trusted, especially not other competitors. But when Calla and Anton strike up an alliance, they soon realize that the only person standing in the way of getting everything they've fought for is each other.
