Daughter of the Moon Goddess

Hidden on the moon from birth, Xingyin grows up unaware of her mother's secret past and the celestial wrath that banished her. Her mother, Chang'e, stole the elixir of immortality from the ruthless Celestial Emperor, and now, Xingyin's burgeoning magic threatens to reveal their presence. Forced to flee her home and leave her mother behind, Xingyin ventures to the Celestial Kingdom, a realm of both wonder and danger. Adopting a disguised identity, she apprentices herself to the emperor’s son, mastering archery and powerful magic, all while a forbidden romance blossoms between them. To secure her mother's freedom, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest fraught with legendary beasts, treacherous enemies, and court intrigue. She must ultimately confront the Celestial Emperor himself, navigating a dangerous bargain where she risks losing everything she holds dear or plunging the entire realm into chaos. This enchanting debut, inspired by Chinese mythology, is a sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope.
