Publisher's summary

The stunning sequel to Daughter of the Moon Goddess delves deeper into beloved Chinese mythology, concluding the epic story of Xingyin—the daughter of Chang’e and the mortal archer, Houyi—as she battles a grave new threat to the realm, in this powerful tale of love, sacrifice, and hope.

After winning her mother’s freedom from the Celestial Emperor, Xingyin thrives in the enchanting tranquility of her home. But her fragile peace is threatened by the discovery of a strange magic on the moon and the unsettling changes in the Celestial Kingdom as the emperor tightens his grip on power. While Xingyin is determined to keep clear of the rising danger, the discovery of a shocking truth spurs her into a perilous confrontation.

Forced to flee her home once more, Xingyin and her companions venture to unexplored lands of the Immortal Realm, encountering legendary creatures and shrewd monarchs, beloved friends and bitter adversaries. With alliances shifting quicker than the tides, Xingyin has to overcome past grudges and enmities to forge a new path forward, seeking aid where she never imagined she would. As an unspeakable terror sweeps across the realm, Xingyin must uncover the truth of her heart and claw her way through devastation—to rise against this evil before it destroys everything she holds dear, and the worlds she has grown to love . . . even if doing so demands the greatest price of all.

Incredible

I throughly enjoyed this series. While I’m sad there isn’t another book to follow this truly was such a great ending. I’ll be on the look out for any Sue Lynn Tan books from here on out. She’s an incredible story teller. And the narrator for this audiobook was brilliant. Over all the story and performance was just enchanting. 10 out of 10. Well done!

Exactly what I needed but didn’t expect

I loved this book. The narrator does a great job. The story is fantastic. The character development was great. It tugged at my heart strings. Made me angry. Made me cry. Made me made at the author, then love her. I love that it is a two book series rather than 4-6 books. It does not feel drawn out. I highly recommend.

Everything I could have wanted!!!

Such a beautiful story all the way till the very end. Everything I could have wanted in a sequel and more. This one is going to be a forever favorite.
The mythology and folklore woven throughout the story alongside the depth and emotion brought everything to life in such a vivid way.

Absolutely amazing

Nothing to say except I really loved and enjoyed this stunning sequel, I thought that the first book Daughter of the Moon Goddess was perfect and didn’t think that the sequel would top it but I was happily mistaken 🖤

Brave Love

Oh my stars…. This was so amazing Ms Tan. Every battle, every sorrow, every joy and heartbreaks. Well written. So much so, I now own the hardbacks of both. Thank you for transporting us to realms far and wide with Chang’e
