'Magnificent in every way' - Samantha Shannon, author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
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. And when a bandit raid wipes out their home, the two children must somehow survive. Zhu Chongba despairs and gives in. But the girl resolves to overcome her destiny. So she takes on her dead brother's identity - and begins her journey.
Can Zhu escape what is written in the stars, as rebellion sweeps the land? Can she claim her brother's greatness - and rise, ruthlessly, to take the dragon throne?
This is a glorious tale from a powerful new voice.
She Who Became the Sun is a reimagining of the rise to power of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu was the real-life peasant rebel who expelled the Mongols, unified China under native rule, and became the founding Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
'Epic, tragic and gorgeous' - Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
As a small business, we believe it is our responsibility to always have sustainability in mind.
The joy of being small is that every decision is our own to make - what materials go into our products, what packaging we choose, what businesses we buy from and who we choose to stock.
We can’t afford a lot of the volume discounts that mean these choices don’t impact us financially, but this is part of why we price ourselves the way we do, as it’s the right thing to do.
