Stories beneath the visible city.
Yung-Lung Chen is the author of The Cold City, a dark paranormal romance series set in a hidden New York — a city where the landmarks everyone knows, from Yankee Stadium to City Hall to the crossings over the East River, sit on top of doors that were sealed for a reason, and the immortal guardians who keep them.
The series opens with Blood at the Old Gate, a prequel novella about a locksmith, a hotel that appears on no map, and the vampire bound to its door. It continues in Blood Under the Lights, where a night-shift electrician touches the green line beneath the stadium, and Blood Across the River, where a Queens blood-bank tech gives clean blood to a starving vampire and opens the next door beneath the city.
Chen writes romance with teeth: heroines with agency, monsters who understand restraint, and heat that is never separated from consequence. Every intimate act in the books is consensual, and every book carries a content note so readers know exactly what they are opening.
The Cold City is published by 88Away LLC in New York. Both novels are available in audio on ElevenReader. New readers can start with the free prequel novella by joining the reader list, or begin with Book One on Kindle, in paperback, or in audio.
