"My name is not Kim, it's Kiamling. It means Sword Spirit. I was forged to cut down the undead. Demons and monsters aren't just in your storybooks, they walk among us."

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

When the British disrupt the Hungry Ghosts festival and her grandmother is seized by a strange new monster, Kiamling must step up and lead the search. She is aided by unexpected allies: Archie, an earnest civil servant, Hoi gor, childhood sweetheart turned merchant-pirate and Jingling, her younger sister keeping secrets of her own. Kiamling must figure out who is behind the incursion and more importantly, how to defeat them.

With British fables mingling with local Chinese monsters, can Kiamling prove herself, when the old rules no longer seem to apply?

Babel meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer—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 No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller Eliza Chan.

Reseñas de la crítica

"A rip-roaring romp through 19th Century Hong Kong infested with monsters, and the belligerent hunter who must take them down. Harbour of Hungry Ghosts is hilarious, whip-smart and action-packed, with a dysfunctional but devoted family at its emotional core."—Frances White, bestselling author of Voyage of the Damned
"With a vibrant world, non-stop demon-slaying action, and a stubborn mess of a main character you can’t help but root for, Harbour of Hungry Ghosts explores colonialism and the weight of familial expectations, set against the backdrop of a Hong Kong where Chinese folklore clashes with the intruding British. Propulsive, fun, and complex: this is the monster-hunting fantasy I’ve been craving!"—Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days
"Eliza Chan has outdone herself! Filled with action, humor, and sassy women, Harbor of Hungry Ghosts is a glorious tribute to Eastern and Western mythologies, and to Hong Kong's richly vibrant history." —Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters

"There’s a pulse-pounding tension in the plotlines of all three heroines, as well as between the townspeople and the Fathomfolk as they work to protect and rebuild their home. Though the story can be dense, readers will be captivated by Tiankawi’s atmospheric, postapocalyptic universe. This keeps the series going strong."

—Publishers Weekly on Tideborn

"Chan expands the glittering, tumultuous world of Tiankawi in the spellbinding sequel to Fathomfolk ... Chan’s prose brims with tension, richly imagined political intrigue, and characters grappling with guilt, duty, and impossible choices. The blend of mythic grandeur and modern social commentary remains gripping, with stakes that crescendo into breathtaking set pieces. Fans of intricate world building and morally complex narratives will find this series installment utterly unmissable."

—Booklist on Tideborn
"A thrilling, incisive fantasy of diaspora and dragons, Fathomfolk is an unmissable debut. If you're hungry for a beautiful Southeast Asian influenced fantasy with razor-sharp edges, this book is for you."—Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne, on Fathomfolk
"Prepare to be engulfed. Chan has superbly created a world as real and complex as our own, where oppression has no easy solutions and there is no success without sacrifice. Fast-paced action combined with true social depth make this an unforgettable, must-read fantasy."—Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun, on Fathomfolk
"A vivid, textured tale of migration, prejudice and change. Wonderful and breathtaking." —Aliette de Bodard, author of The Red Scholar's Wake, on Fathomfolk
