About Heart of the Sun Warrior

For readers who loved Daughter of the Moon Goddess and want the emotional stakes — and the sacrifice — raised even further. Xingyin's long-deferred happiness is shattered when a new threat emerges to menace the Celestial Kingdom, and she must choose between love and duty in a way that costs her everything. Sue Lynn Tan draws on Chinese mythology to build a world where every victory comes with grief and every reunion is fragile. This conclusion to the Celestial Kingdom duology is more emotionally devastating than the first book and just as beautifully written.
