Justinian Huang is a proud American-born child of immigrants, and his books dive into intimately specific themes informed by his upbringing, such as past lives, reincarnation, and the weaving together of old-world beliefs with modern-day realities. Yet as specific as they are, his stories are inviting for everyone, regardless of your background. He truly believe that at our core, we are all the same soul striving for self-love, and that’s what his characters reflect as well. The Emperor and the Endless Palace is Justinian's first book and is a heart-pounding romantasy, full of shocking twists, morally shifty characters, and erotic thrills. When it comes to the romance within this novel, you can expect equal parts mess and swoon, but its central thread is an epic tale of true love against all the odds.


Call & Response Books is a Black woman-owned bookstore in Chicago focused on fostering a love of reading, community, human connections, and the sharing of ideas across cultures and backgrounds. With the knowledge that the publishing industry has historically overlooked and sidelined writers of color, we place the voices of Black and other authors of color at the center of our work. We hope to provide a space for the many people who, for so long, have not seen ourselves represented in literature, empowering all to share their stories with the world.
