Red Queen meets These Violent Delights and Iron Widow in an epic anti-colonial YA fantasy from debut author Molly X. Chang. This gorgeous hardback features special cover finishes, a secret foiled case and stunning full colour endpaper art.
Known as The Girl Blessed By Death, Ruying wants only to survive, but when her magic is discovered by an enemy prince she must decide if saving her family is worth betraying her country.
For as long as Yang Ruying can remember, the empire of Er-Lang has been occupied by Romans, whose advanced science and military make them Gods. But these Gods are not kind. Their only gifts: cruelty, opian, and destruction.
When Antony, the second Prince of Rome, uncovers Ruying's power, she becomes what she always feared: the perfect assassin. As tensions mount and rebellion stirs, Ruying can no longer deny that peace is a death sentence for Er-Lang. A death she may not be willing to deliver.
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang (Hardback)
Born in Harbin, China, Molly grew up on Manchurian folklore, raised by grandparents who taught her to take pride in the heritages and cultures that shaped her life, and the harrowing history of the ancestors who'd come before her.
She began learning English at age 13 after devouring Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and has harbored a love for books ever since. By age 16, she was posting stories on Wattpad between classes, where those books garnered over 100 million reads and a rabid fanbase in multiple languages.
She is currently based in London, UK.
