    "description": "#1 New York Times bestselling YA author Chloe Gong\u2019s adult epic fantasy debut, inspired by Shakespeare\u2019s Antony and Cleopatra, is a fiery collision of power plays, spilled blood, and romance amidst a set of deadly games.\n\nEvery year, thousands in the kingdom of Talin will flock to its capital twin cities, San-Er, where the palace hosts a set of games. For those confident enough in their ability to jump between bodies, competitors across San-Er fight to the death to win unimaginable riches.\n\nPrincess Calla Tuoleimi lurks in hiding. Five years ago, a massacre killed her parents and left the palace of Er empty\u2026and she was the one who did it. Before King Kasa\u2019s forces in San can catch her, she plans to finish the job and bring down the monarchy. Her reclusive uncle always greets the victor of the games, so if she wins, she gets her opportunity at last to kill him.\n\nEnter Anton Makusa, an exiled aristocrat. His childhood love has lain in a coma since they were both ousted from the palace, and he\u2019s deep in debt trying to keep her alive. Thankfully, he\u2019s one of the best jumpers in the kingdom, flitting from body to body at will. His last chance at saving her is entering the games and winning.\n\nCalla finds both an unexpected alliance with Anton and help from King Kasa\u2019s adopted son, August, who wants to mend Talin\u2019s ills. But the three of them have very different goals, even as Calla and Anton\u2019s partnership spirals into something all-consuming. Before the games close, Calla must decide what she\u2019s playing for\u2014her lover or her kingdom.",
