Product Information

'Epic, tragic and gorgeous' - Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January 'A thoroughly engrossing read with a fabulous, tragic-trickster protagonist . . . I've been waiting for a book like this' - Megan Campisi, author of Sin Eater 'A dazzling new world of fate, war, love and betrayal' - Zen Cho, author of Black Water Sister She Who Became the Sun reimagines the rise to power of the Ming Dynasty's founding emperor. In a famine-stricken village on a dusty plain, a seer shows two children their fates. For a family's eighth-born son, there's greatness. For the second daughter, nothing. In 1345, China lies restless under harsh Mongol rule. And when a bandit raid wipes out their home, the two children must somehow survive. Zhu Chongba despairs and gives in. But the girl resolves to overcome her destiny. So she takes her dead brother's identity and begins her journey. Can Zhu escape what's written in the stars, as rebellion sweeps the land? Or can she claim her brother's greatness - and rise as high as she can dream? This is a glorious tale of love, loss, betrayal and triumph by a powerful new voice. 'As brilliant as Circe . . . a deft and dazzling triumph' - Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan is a historical fantasy re-imagining of the rise to power of Zhu Yuanzhang.

    So well written that as soon as I finished it, I bought a copy for my best friend ( no way am I giving up my copy) who grabbed it with cries of joy. If you like a well told story, buy it. If you enjoy being introduced to new information, buy it. If you like fantasy, history, China, tales of overcoming great obstacles or s story about a determined woman; if you like any of these, you will love this book. Buy it.
