An immersive historical fantasy, "She Who Became the Sun" by Shelley Parker-Chan is a queer retelling of the rise to power of one legendary Chinese ruler.
Magnificent in every way, the novel blends war, desire, vengeance, and politics, with Shelley Parker-Chan carefully measuring each ingredient. Samantha Shannon, author of "The Priory of the Orange Tree," praises the book, stating, "In a famine-stricken village on a dusty plain, a seer shows two children their fates. For a family's eighth-born son, there's greatness. For the second daughter, nothing."
In 1345, China lies restless under harsh Mongol rule. When a bandit raid wipes out their home, the two children must find a way to survive. Zhu Chongba, filled with despair, gives in. However, the girl resolves to overcome her destiny. Taking her dead brother's identity, she embarks on a journey. Can Zhu escape the fate written in the stars as rebellion sweeps the land? Or can she claim her brother's greatness and rise, ruthlessly, to take the dragon throne?
"She Who Became the Sun" is a glorious tale of love, loss, betrayal, and triumph by a powerful new voice. It reimagines the rise to power of Zhu Yuanzhang, the peasant rebel who expelled the Mongols, unified China under native rule, and became the founding Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The novel is described as "epic, tragic, and gorgeous" by Alix E. Harrow, author of "The Ten Thousand Doors of January." It delves into the complexities of power, loyalty, and the human cost of ambition, offering a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of history and identity.
With its vivid storytelling, intricate world-building, and memorable characters, "She Who Became the Sun" has already garnered critical acclaim and is destined to become a beloved classic in the historical fantasy genre.
