Publisher Description

The acclaimed national and international bestseller

“Epic, romantic, and enthralling from start to finish.”—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

“An all-consuming work of literary fantasy that is breathtaking both for its beauty and its suspense."—BookPage, starred review

A captivating and romantic debut epic fantasy inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess, Chang’e, in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm.

Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.

Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince.

To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, of loss and sacrifice—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.

Expressionless Face“First DNF. I tried really hard to get into it and keep going, but 28 pages in and it felt like the story hadn’t really gotten anywhere. The dialogue is meh, it takes too long to get to the point. As the author’s debut novel it takes awhile to get into your own skin and feel comfortable, but this dragged too much for me and got to the point where I was dreading trying to continue reading. Maybe it gets better later on, but it was too slow paced for me.”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes““Why was it that the times which called for greatest strength were when we were at our weakest?” My Review: I loved every bit of this book. Xingyin was an FMC you would adore. Her morals, her determination, and the strength she could muster whatever happened. I loved the story. The gasps I gasped, the eff you’s I mumbled under my breath to annoying characters, my slamming of fist whenever I ate the banter and the little moments. It was beautiful. Can’t wait to read Book 2 of the Duology. Love love loved this! ❤️”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Wow ok I LOVED this! This was written so beautifully, and the setting is incredible - I’m so excited to read more in the celestial kingdom! Xingyin is one of the best FMCs I’ve read about so far, and Liwei I don’t even know what to say, I adore him. The magic in this world?? The weapons and fighting descriptions?? The lore?? 👑 I was the expecting to fall in love with this book so much but I did, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. 🌕✨💕”
