A Deal with Demons (Death Chaser Book 1)

In a Beijing where reality and spirit have violently merged, a desperate man with his brother’s ghost trapped inside him must solve an impossible case—or they’ll both be erased from existence.

Dan Lin is a Death Chaser living on borrowed time. With illegal cybernetic implants barely keeping his drowned brother’s spirit from consuming his life force, Dan navigates post-Shattering Beijing—a metropolis where quantum technology tore open the barrier between worlds, creating yaoguai hybrids and powering chi-enhanced augmetics. When government Exorcist Monks close in for the kill, a fox-yaoguai corporate executive offers an impossible deal: seven days to find a missing researcher in Stone Mountain, Beijing’s lawless district, and the execution order vanishes.

As Dan descends into the district’s brutal vertical slums, he unearths a nightmarish conspiracy far beyond a missing person case. The researcher’s trail leads to ritualistic murders and forbidden experiments that blur the line between technology and ancient power. With his time mercilessly dwindling and betrayal lurking in every shadow, Dan must decide if saving his brother is worth unleashing a power that could tear apart the fragile balance between worlds. Because in a city where chi and data flow together, every deal has hidden costs—and this one might cost Dan his very soul.
