Kingdom of Without

“Clever, intricately plotted, and wildly fun, Kingdom of Without is the heist novel done to perfection. What a joy to step into Tang’s Beijing; I never wanted to leave.” – Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief
“Sharp, sophisticated, and stirring, Kingdom of Without presents a brilliant tale of revolution crackling with action, wit, and humor and interlaced with moments that so poignantly explore what it means to be human — all set against the backdrop of a cyberpunk, futuristic Beijing. I am wholly in love with the gritty world and clever crew that Andrea Tang has created in one of her best works yet.” – Amelie Wen Zhao, New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night
“A high-octane novel set against the stunning backdrop of an alternate cyberpunk Beijing, Kingdom of Without is an unmissable sci-fi adventure.

“Wickedly clever, outrageously fun, and bursting with heart, Kingdom of Without is a razor-sharp story of heists, found family, and revolution that pulls no punches and beautifully explores how far we’ll go for the ones we love and the world we want to build. This is Andrea Tang at her best.” – Rebecca Mix, New York Times bestselling author of The Ones We Burn

“In a well-constructed world, Ning’er is a tough, talented, and sympathetic character, and Cheng Yun is charismatic and complex, aware of the ethically shady aspects of his double life.
