This love story for the ages, set in a reimagined industrial
Asia, is a little dark, a bit breathless, and completely
compelling. A “grisly and satisfying” tale (Publishers
Weekly) inspired by The Phantom of the
Opera.
Sixteen-year-old Wen assists her father in
his medical clinic, housed in a slaughterhouse staffed by
the Noor, men hired as cheap factory labor. Wen often hears
the whisper of a ghost in the slaughterhouse, a ghost who
grants wishes to those who need them most. And after one of
the Noor humiliates Wen, the ghost grants an impulsive wish
of hers—brutally.
Guilt-ridden, Wen befriends the Noor, including the
outspoken leader, a young man named Melik. At the same time,
she is lured by the mystery of the ghost. As deadly
accidents fuel tensions within the factory, Wen is torn
between her growing feelings for Melik, who is enraged at
the sadistic factory bosses and the prejudice faced by his
people at the hand of Wen’s, and her need to appease the
ghost, who is determined to protect her against any
threat—real or imagined. Will she determine whom to trust
before the factory explodes, taking her down with it?
