\n

When Mercy Chan washed up on the shores of Hong Kong with no family, no money, and no memories, she was thrust into the horrors of World War II. She only survived by hiding in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatized civilians. Since the end of the war, she has rebuilt her life and found work with the local triad as a ghost-talker, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place. These days, the filthy gutters and cramped alleyways of Kowloon feel like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the past she can\u2019t remember won\u2019t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost has infested Kowloon\u2019s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy\u2014and her forgotten childhood. As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realize that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

33 years before, mere days ahead of the Japanese invasion, Sung Siu Yin and her mother flee Hong Kong, intending to hide out on her mother’s ancestral island home. It\u2019s beautiful, tranquil, and remote. . . but also inhabited by ghosts ever since the entire village drowned in a storm many years ago. Still, it\u2019s better than living under occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the war drags on and isolation sets in, Siu Yin is increasingly drawn into the island’s grim past\u2014a past that may still have a hold on the present. There is a darkness lurking beneath that idyllic ocean, and it has been waiting many years for someone to return.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cuando Mercy Chan aparecen las costas de Hong Kong sin familia, sin dinero y sin memoria, se encontr\u00f3 con los horrores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Solo consigui\u00f3 sobrevivir refugi\u00e1ndose tras los muros de la ciudad amurallada de Kowloon, un infame suburbio infestado por fantasmas repleto de civiles perdidos y traumatizados. Desde el fin de la guerra, ha reconstruido su vida y trabaja para la triada local como int\u00e9rprete de fantasmas, encarg\u00e1ndose de los esp\u00edritus enfadados y amargados que ocupan el lugar. En estos d\u00edas, las abarrotadas y sucias alcantarillas y callejones de Kowloon se han convertido en su hogar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero el pasado que no recuerda no la dejar\u00e1 en paz. Un fantasma inusualmente poderoso ha infestado las aguas de Kowloon, ahogando a inocentes y poniendo en peligro al distrito en su totalidad. Adem\u00e1s, dice conocer a Mercy y su olvidada infancia. Mercy se ve atra\u00edda hacia este juego del gato y el rat\u00f3n con un esp\u00edritu maligno, pero comienza a entender que el monstruo contra el que lucha puede haberlo creado ella misma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

33 a\u00f1os antes, apenas unos d\u00edas antes de la invasi\u00f3n japonesa, Sung Siu Yin y su madre huyeron de Hong Kong, pretendiendo ocultarse en la isla que fue el hogar ancestral de su madre. Es hermosa, tranquila, remota… pero tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 habitada por fantasmas desde que el pueblo entero se ahog\u00f3 en una tormenta a\u00f1os atr\u00e1s. A\u00fan as\u00ed, es mejor que vivir bajo la ocupaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero conforme contin\u00faa la guerra y el aislamiento se va asentando, Siu Yin se ve atra\u00eddo hacia el terrible pasado de la isla, un pasado que tiene presencia en el presente. Hay una oscuridad latente bajo el id\u00edlico oc\u00e9ano y ha esperado muchos a\u00f1os a que alguien vuelva.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
