Julie C. Dao
Eighteen-year-old Xifeng is beautiful. The stars say she is destined for greatness, that she is meant to be Empress. But only if she embraces the darkness within her.
In order to achieve greatness, Xifeng must spurn the young man who loves her and exploit the callous magic that runs through her veins. Is the price of the throne too high?
How far is she willing to go to achieve her destiny?
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, romantasy and villain origin stories, including readers of The Last Tiger, The Invocations, The Girl With No Reflection and the Dark Rise series.
