More about the book

Perfect for fans of Ryan LaSala and Trang Thanh Tran, this sinister tale of the supernatural explores sisterhood and the shadows of our darkest desires. New York Times best-selling author Judy I. Lin ventures into horror with a gripping narrative. Ruby Chen has always been the dutiful eldest daughter, excelling in academics, piano, and guiding her younger sister, Tina, through activities aimed at impressing college admissions. However, everything changes when a ghost attacks the sisters in Vancouver’s Chinatown, plunging Ruby into a darkness from which duty cannot rescue her. Tina undergoes a disturbing transformation, exhibiting strange behaviors and becoming something dark and unnatural. As Ruby races against time to save her sister from demonic possession, she finds herself embroiled in an ancient battle for the gateway to the underworld. An evil traveling temple, known for granting dark wishes, has returned to Chinatown, intent on breaking the gateway and unleashing chaos. Ruby must confront not only the horrors threatening her community but also the darkness within herself. This bone-chilling story intertwines Chinese and Taiwanese mythology with a fresh, terrifying perspective on the Asian diaspora experience.
