Kyla Zhao’s Heirs of Infamy has an October 13 publication date from G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers. The historical young-adult novel follows rivals from opposing criminal families in 1940s San Francisco Chinatown. The publisher contrasts East Phoenix’s reliance on secrets and stealth with West Dragon’s use

of intimidation and force. A developing romance crosses that divide, placing personal attachment inside the competing loyalties of the two gangs. The hardcover and ebook are listed at 352 pages, with an audiobook also dated October 13. The setting gives the heist-and-romance premise a specific postwar context rather

than an invented fantasy kingdom. Read the official source. Image: G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers; official cover.
