About this listen

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The epic sequel to The Scorpion and the Night Blossom, continuing the dark and opulent fantasy saga of demons, dangerous magic, and forbidden love as Àn’yīng fights to save her kingdom from destruction.

A decade ago, the Kingdom of Night began the war against the Kingdom of Rivers, ravaging the lands and releasing mó—beautiful, ravenous demons—to roam free, drinking the souls of mortals. Now the mó have made it beyond the magical wards of the immortal realm—the Kingdom of Sky—and will not stop until the entire world falls to darkness.

Àn’yīng is determined to banish the mó to their realm and return the mortal realm to peace. But a stunning betrayal has turned the tides of this war: Her handsome rival from the Immortality Trials and the man she was falling in love with, Yù’chén, is now the enemy. Yù’chén is half mó, his mother none other than Sansiran, the Demon Queen of the Kingdom of Night . . . and the monster responsible for killing Àn’yīng’s father.

There is one hope for the future, though. The boy in the jade—Àn’yīng’s lifelong mystery guardian and heir to the last mortal Emperor—Hào’yáng. Together, Àn’yīng and Hào’yáng must join forces to rally an army that stretches across realms, from the Four Seas of the Dragons to the Phoenixes of the Golden Desert. But first she must awaken to the immortal power slumbering in her own veins.

Critic reviews

"A duology closer incorporating magic, war, and love and set in a lush, well-described fantasy China." —Kirkus Reviews

"An excellent and sometimes bittersweet conclusion to a sweeping story filled with romance, drama, and adventure." —School Library Journal

"[An] action-packed rollercoaster of a conclusion. Zhao excellently builds on the Chinese folklore of [The Scorpion and the Night Blossom], with a more emotionally resolute Àn’yīng taking control of her destiny. A great duology closer for high-fantasy fans." —Booklist
