NOTES O/T AVOWED NIGHTINGALES WALLED CITY (2025)

"In 1925, Hong Kong struggles with growing pains. Two destructive Opium Wars have transformed what once was a sleepy tropical inlet into a bustling international crossroads, full of risks and wonders, torn between Chinese and British cultures. When Song Lu starts his new job as a Dead Letter Carrier, the curious teenager is drawn to the mysterious Walled City of Kowloon, a lawless urban enclave and haven for refugees but an alarming trend of missing children will drive him deeper and deeper into the city's secrets. Meanwhile, his best friends Yubo and Xi find their own paths to adult power and responsibility, with dark and irreversible consequences."

"Emmy Award-winning writer Anne Opotowsky and stunning artist Amber MaAlexandra Navrosky present the final volume in the massive saga of ambition, loyalty, and the walls we build inside and out; animating an irresistible historical setting with powerful modern resonance. Watch in the last volume of the trilogy how one entangles the other. The gems float down from the Mekong, gathering dragon fire, ancient qi and vengeful powers along the way. One game is deceptively simple. Go-the Chinese board game that has captivated centuries of Asian players, ensnares two more. The other game has no rules. But the same ring sits at this center. It sets off a cascade, binding fragile bridges that link the Walled City."
