Raised far away on the moon, Xingyin was unaware she was being hidden from the Celestial Emperor – who exiled her mother for stealing the elixir of immortality. But when her magic flares and reveals her, Xingyin is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.
Alone, powerless, and afraid, Xingyin makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. In disguise, she trains alongside the Emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, despite the passion which flames between them.
Vowing to rescue her mother, Xingyin embarks on a quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. But when forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, Xingyin must challenge the ruthless Emperor, leaving her torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos…
Inspired by the legend of Chang’e the Moon Goddess, this captivating debut weaves Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of love and family, immortals and magic.

En trevlig bok att lyssna på i bilen, men jag kände aldrig riktigt det där suget av att man bara måste veta vad som händer sen.

Such an amazing book. It was so beautiful written. The world building and magic system was really good and not to much. I love how you can recognize that the characters have an Asian/ Chinese culture.

Mysig att lyssna på. Härligt med en asiatisk fantasy värld, annorlunda miljöer och sägner

Toppenbra! Gillar hur beskrivande den skrivits, man kan verkligen se framför sig hur allt såg ut. Och bara det att uppläsaren uttalade namnen på ett visste sett gjorde att man transporterades till Kina. Kommer nog vara en bok jag återkommer till 😄

Välskriven. Man får en bra inblick i huvudkaraktärens känslor och relationer utan att det blir utdraget. Skönt att det är en lång bok och inte flera kortare.
