She Who Became the Sun (The Radiant Emperor Duology #1) By Shelley Parker-Chan Cover Image

She Who Became the Sun (The Radiant Emperor Duology #1) (Paperback)

By Shelley Parker-Chan
$18.99

Fate and power collide in this epic story of war, legacy, and love. The first pages gripped me by the stomach as I hungered with Zhu, then burrowed into my bones as grudges and prejudices were revealed; finally leaving my heart cracked open between anger and love. Perfect for fans of Song of Achilles and rich historical fantasy.
