The Phoenix Empress

Praise for The Phoenix Empress

"The Tiger's Daughter was my favorite fantasy novel last year, telling the story of an epic quest through an original and engrossing perspective, and The Phoenix Empress expands and deepens the mysteries of this intricate and fully-realized fantasy world. I'm riveted by this story and can't wait for the next volume."--Martha Wells, author of the Hugo Award-winning Murderbot Diaries series

"The second entry in this epic fantasy series (after The Tiger's Daughter) continues the intense worldbuilding and time-hopping prose of the first... Engrossing and memorable." --Library Journal

"The sweeping, lush love story between the Qorin warrior Shefali and the warrior empress Shizuka continues." --Booklist on The Phoenix Empress
