Food of the Gods

Paying off a debt to the gods is never easy. This is the full length debut from rising star Cassandra Khaw. "A gut-punch of a reading experience...amazing" Publishers Weekly starred review.

It&;s not unusual to work two jobs in this day and age, but sorcerer and former triad soldier Rupert Wong&;s life is more complicated than most. By day, he makes human hors d&;oeuvres for a dynasty of ghouls; by night, he pushes pencils for the Ten Chinese Hells. Of course, it never seems to be enough to buy him a new car&;or his restless, flesh-eating-ghost girlfriend passage from the reincarnation cycle&;until opportunity comes smashing through his window.

In Kuala Lumpur, where deities from a handful of major faiths tip-toe around each other and damned souls number in the millions, it&;s important to tread carefully. Now the Dragon King of the South wants to throw Rupert right in it. The ocean god&;s daughter and her once-mortal husband have been murdered, leaving a single clue: bloodied feathers from the Greek furies. It&;s a clue that could start a war between pantheons, and Rupert&;s stuck in the middle. Success promises wealth, power and freedom, and failure... doesn&;t.

This volume collects the stories Rupert Wong: Cannibal Chef and Rupert Wong And the Ends of the Earth.
