When Shadow, a gifted, ambitious magician, competed with the
beautiful Camilla for the affections of organized crime
leader Master Lung, she almost lost everything. Hiding out
in Hong Kong, performing in a run–down circus, Shadow
has no idea that Camilla, too, is on the run with her lover,
Jinying––Lung's son.
Yet while Camilla and Shadow were once enemies, now their

that her son is alive. And in a city teeming with spies and
rivals––including the vengeful Rainbow
Chang––each battles for a future in a country on
the verge of monumental change. "
