What this book is about
Xingyin's mother, the Moon Goddess Chang'e, broke divine law and was exiled to the moon. Xingyin grows up hidden there — until she must flee to the mortal realm below. She joins the celestial army, befriends a dragon prince, and enters a world of political scheming and ancient magic. Sue Lynn Tan's debut weaves Chinese mythology into an epic fantasy of love, sacrifice, and a daughter determined to free her mother.
