Synopsis

Girls of Paper and Fire meets A Song of Wraiths and Ruin in June CL Tan's stunning YA fantasy debut, where ferocious action, shadowy intrigue, rich magic, and a captivating slow-burn romance collide.

In an empire on the brink of war . . .

Ahn is no one, with no past and no family.

Altan is a lost heir, his future stolen away as a child.

When these reluctant allies meet, Altan sees in Ahn a path to reclaiming the throne. Ahn sees a way to finally unlock her past and understand her lethal magical abilities.

But they may have to pay a far deadlier price than either could have imagined.

A stunning homage to the Xianxia novel, this Chinese mythology-inspired epic fantasy features dangerous magic, fast-paced action, and a delightful romance. Jade Fire Gold isn't one to miss!
