Publisher Description
"Treacherously beautiful and dazzlingly romantic. This book will steal your breath and your heart!" – Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon A Broken Heart
A young ruler must forge a delicate alliance with the untrustworthy yet magnetic God of War to protect her kingdom in this stunning romantic fantasy filled with dangerous secrets, forbidden magic, and passion, from Sue Lynn Tan, bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess
The young heir to a mortal crown, Liyen ascends a precarious throne when her grandfather dies, vowing to end her kingdom’s obligation to the immortals and take vengeance against those she feels responsible for his death. When she is summoned to the Immortal Realm, she seizes the opportunity to learn their secrets and to form a tenuous alliance to safeguard her people, all with the one she should fear and mistrust the most: the ruthless God of War. As they are drawn together, a treacherous attraction ignites between them—one she has to resist, to not endanger all she is fighting for.
But with darker forces closing in around them, and her kingdom plunged into peril, Liyen must risk everything to save her people from an unspeakable fate, even if it means forging a dangerous bond with the immortal… even if it means losing her heart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tan (Daughter of the Moon Goddess) revisits the world of her Celestial Kingdom duology in this spellbinding standalone romantasy. The gods protect the kingdom of Tianxia from evil creatures called Wuxin and, in exchange, demand absolute loyalty. Now the mortals who serve them want to be free of their control. When the Lord of Tianxia steals the Divine Pearl Lotus intended for the goddess Queen Caihong of the Golden Desert to cure his granddaughter, Liyen, from a mysterious illness, the gods punish him with death. Liyen is left to take over Tianxia and is summoned to the heavens to receive Queen Caihong's mandate to rule. While there, she hopes to secure Tianxia's independence by seducing Zhangwei, the God of War, who's already taken with her. But as a mortal, Liyen only has a few days in heaven, upping the stakes of both her scheming and the romance. Tan skillfully creates a magic system steeped in Chinese mythology, and the dazzling worldbuilding will be accessible even to those unfamiliar with her prior series. A slow-burning love story, high-flying action scenes, and some unexpected twists make this a stunner.
