Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is used to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. When Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee, leaving her mother behind.
Alone and frightened, Xingyin makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she takes the chance to learn alongside the emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, while a forbidden passion grows between them.
To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, facing legendary creatures and fierce enemies across earth and sky. When treachery threatens and forbidden magic endangers the kingdom, she must confront the ruthless Celestial Emperor. Xingyin strikes a dangerous bargain, torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.
Inspired by the legend of Chang’e, the Chinese moon goddess, Daughter of the Moon Goddess is a captivating debut fantasy. It follows a young woman’s quest to free her mother, pitting her against the most powerful immortal in the realm. This enchanting, romantic duology weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.
