In this kingdom, the royals don’t have absolute power. The action of the book mainly takes place in the Imperial City of Yan, a kingdom pretty much ruled by an old book of tenets, written by the first rulers of the New Era. And I can’t get enough of them, to be honest.Īlso, remember when I said Sorcery of Thorns became my new favorite standalone? Well, it has been dethroned and Descendant of the Crane took that place. I seem to be reading a lot of Chinese-inspired fantasy books lately. In this shimmering Chinese-inspired fantasy, debut author Joan He introduces a determined and vulnerable young heroine struggling to do right in a world brimming with deception. With the future of her kingdom at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high? Using the information illicitly provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust even her family, Hesina turns to Akira-a brilliant investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. Determined to find her father’s killer, Hesina does something desperate: she engages the aid of a soothsayer-a treasonous act, punishable by death… because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago. Synopsis: Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, but when her beloved father is murdered, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of an unstable kingdom.
