Dai, Jin, and Mei Yee are all trapped in the Walled City, a
place of nightmares, death, and corruption. Dai is running
from his past and is on a secret mission. For one of his
drug runs, he needs a quick runner, and he finds Jin, a girl
disguised as a boy, who is trying to find her sister, Mei
Yee. Mei Yee is living in a brothel, stuck watching the

anything about it. When the three paths of theirs collide,
they may find a way out of the dangerous city.
THE WALLED CITY is packed with nonstop action and incredible

despair, and the strong bonds that tie people to one
another, even in the most desperate of places. From the
beginning, readers will be on the edge of their seat,

corner.
The three protagonists are each complex and unique, all with
a desire to find a better future away from the Walled City.

beautifully as they discover how much they are willing to
pay to get what they want.
