Tickets include admission and a copy of To Dream in Darkness.About the book: Two gods strike a bargain that leads them on a journey with devastating consequences in this lush historical fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Ann Liang.China in the age of brilliance, where gods freely wander the three realms. Amongst them is the cruel and beautiful Death God, who has never failed to collect a soul on time. Until now. For when he seeks out Rujia, the noble god of healing—and the only god he is fated to K*ll with his own hands—she makes him an offer he can’t refuse: she will help lift the excruciating, century-old curse placed upon him if he gives her a one-month reprieve.Rujia knows she isn’t as noble as everyone believes. Her deal with Death is merely an excuse to buy herself time while she figures out an escape plan. But when her plan causes the Celestial Palace’s collapse and the beloved crown prince’s disappearance, she and Death are both held responsible. The only way to avoid the wrath of all the other gods is to travel across the realms and safely retrieve the crown prince themselves.Yet the journey proves far more treacherous than expected. As the unlikely alliance between them blooms into more, and Death’s resolve to K*ll Rujia weakens by the day, neither can outrun their intertwined fate without devastating consequences: A mysterious plague. An empire-destroying flood. A thousand deaths—and rising—to restore the balance Rujia's disrupted. And if Rujia continues to live despite the will of the Heavens, this is only the beginning...Praise for A Song to Drown Rivers:"Exquisite and devastating." - Shelley Parker-Chan, #1 Sunday Times Bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun"A stunning, heart-rending feat of a story." - Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings"...searingly ambitious and heartbreakingly intimate..." - Grace D.
