A start to a new duology from Of Jade and Dragons author Amber Chen, perfect for fans of The Scorpion and the Night Blossom and A Forgery of Fate!
Meng Lingxi and her grandmother run a legendary auction house, Meng Wu—the House of Dreams. But when a mysterious traveler arrives bearing a fragment of a soul, all that Lingxi knows changes in an instant. Her grandmother mysteriously vanishes, and restless spirits descend upon Meng Wu.
Then two unlikely allies—Yan Jun and Yan Shan, guardians of hell itself—come to Lingxi's aid, revealing a shocking secret about the only home she's ever known: Meng Wu sits upon the gateway to hell, and her grandmother serves the god of the underworld himself.
Soon, Lingxi joins her two companions on a perilous journey to find her grandmother and unravel the mystery behind the dangerous fragment of soul. Along the way, the trio must outsmart humans, gods, and demons alike who try to stand in their way—before hell is let loose on earth.
"An Auction of Souls is an action-packed tale deftly interwoven with mythological intrigue and tender yearning, helmed by a feisty, cunning heroine. This book will constantly have you on the edge of your seat."--Amy Leow, author of The Scarlet Throne
"An Auction of Souls is equal parts adventurous, wondrous, humorous, and tense. It is perfect for readers who enjoy banded journeys filled with magic and secrets across wide sweeping landscapes. Chen’s writing is both dark and whimsy, effortlessly transporting readers through the different realms."--Ai Jiang, Nebula Award winner of Linghun and A Palace Near The Wind
