The hit danmei (Boys’ Love) thriller from the author behind Guardian: Zhen Hun and Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang–both available from Seven Seas! A young man’s body is found outside a glitzy high-rise on the West Side of Yancheng - dressed for celebration, strangled, and left with a sheet of paper covering his face. One word is scrawled across it: money. To Sergeant Luo Wenzhou, head of the Criminal Investigation Team at the Yancheng Municipal Public Safety Bureau, it’s just another case in a city rife with power plays and buried secrets. But as he digs deeper with his team, what begins as a straightforward homicide unravels into something far murkier reaching into the city’s darkest corners of wealth, privilege, and police corruption. And then there’s Fei Du: the aloof, razor-sharp CEO of the Fei Corporation, who seems to know far too much about the murder - and about Luo Wenzhou himself. Once a troubled youth with ties to Luo Wenzhou’s past, Fei Du now walks a fine line between brilliant ally and inscrutable suspect. His insights are disturbingly precise. His motives? Frustratingly opaque. As the investigation twists through layers of trauma and moral ambiguity, Luo Wenzhou finds himself reluctantly drawn toward the very man who unsettles him most. But in a city where justice is easily bought and truth wears many masks, can either man afford to trust the other?

A striking graphic novel adaptation of the George Orwell classic, Animal Farm. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them – masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball – starts to take control.

Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling “fairy story” is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.

This powerfully and beautifully drawn graphic novel adaptation is destined to become the classic illustrated edition of this celebrated work.
