  “An intricately woven tale of star-crossed lovers, The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a masterful combination of Chinese folklore, queer history, and romance. From an ancient Chinese dynasty to the gay party scene of LA, Justinian Huang transports us through three different eras of Chinese culture.”

  —Devon Overley, Loganberry Books, Shaker Heights, OH
  
  

  “This propulsive queer love story is the fantastical journey of two men who find themselves inexplicably on a crash course for one another century after century, but with a chance to break the cycle. Told with verve and urgency, readers will be left breathless as they race to finish this exquisite tale of court politics, Chinese folklore, and modern love.”

  —Stephanie Skees, The Novel Neighbor, Webster Groves, MO
  

  “The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a hard novel to sum up but let me try: an erotic love story, three eras, loyalty, betrayal, intrigue, mythology. The story is gloriously addictive and will keep you turning page after page as the seemingly separate layers converge. You will share this with everyone you know!”

  —Kathy Baum, Tattered Cover Book Store, Denver, CO
