The Blood Phoenix

A thrilling and epic silkpunk fantasy inspired by the legendary Qing dynasty. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Lim and Xiran Jay Zhao.

When Ying left the prestigious Engineer's Guild and the ghost her father's death behind, she thought her life would regain a sense of normalcy.

But, after her new home is attacked, by the mysterious - and deadly - Blood Phoenix, Ying is thrust back into the tense political world of the Nine Isles and, distressingly, back into the path of the man who broke her heart, High Commander Ye-yang.

She'd hoped never to face him again, but Ying and Ye-yang must work together to unmask the elusive mastermind behind a far-reaching conspiracy, before the Nine Isles are torn apart.

Can they find a way to defeat their new enemy, or will the cost be too great?
