A family of demon hunters find their hands full when unfamiliar monsters start stalking the streets of Opium War-era Hong Kong, in this historical fantasy adventure from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Eliza Chan. 

The Au family serve the people of Hong Kong as demon hunters and exorcists: blessing shrines, honoring the dead and dealing with dangerous yiaoguai incursions. The expectations on eldest daughter Kiamling are high, which is not something her strict grandmother and mentor will let her forget. 

However, when British colonists interrupt a hungry ghost ritual, and her grandmother disappears, Kiamling must step up and lead the search. Her bumbling language pupil Archie and her youngest sister Jingling will offer aid, alongside Hoi Gor, Kiamling’s recently returned childhood crush from Canton. But when British fables mingle with local Chinese monsters, how can Kiamling prove herself, when the old rules no longer seem to apply?
