A stunning, standalone romantic fantasy filled with dangerous secrets, forbidden magic and passion, of a young ruler who fights to protect her kingdom, from bestselling author Sue Lynn Tan and set in the breathtaking world of Daughter of the Moon Goddess . "To win the God of War''s support was wise--to fall in love with him would ruin me." As the heir to Tianxia, Liyen knows she must ascend the throne and renew her kingdom''s pledge to serve the immortals who once protected them from a vicious enemy. But when she is poisoned, Liyen''s grandfather steals an enchanted lotus to save her life. Enraged at his betrayal, the immortal queen commands the powerful God of War to attack Tianxia. Upon her grandfather''s death, Liyen ascends a precarious throne, vowing to end her kingdom''s obligation to the immortals. When she is summoned to the Immortal Realm, she seizes the opportunity to learn their secrets and to form a tenuous alliance to safeguard her people, all with the one she should fear and mistrust the most: the ruthless God of War. As they are drawn together, a treacherous attraction ignites between them--one she has to resist, to not endanger all she is fighting for. But with darker forces closing in around them, and her kingdom plunged into peril, Liyen must risk everything to save her people from an unspeakable fate, even if it means forging a dangerous bond with the immortal... even if it means losing her heart.
