ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan tells the story of Xingyin, a young immortal who grows up sheltered on the moon, unaware of her true parentage. She discovers her mother is the Moon Goddess, Chang'e, imprisoned for stealing the Elixir of Immortality and her father is the mortal hero, Houyi. Xingyin is drawn into the Celestial Kingdom, where she faces many challenges.

 

She is tasked with a dangerous mission and must rely on her wits and bravery to navigate the politics of both the Celestial and Demon realms. Betrayal and deception become constant threats as she learns to discern who she can trust. The narrative explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the fight for freedom, as Xingyin seeks to liberate her mother and define her own path. The book also questions the nature of power and the definition of justice.
