Daughter of the Moon Goddess

Celestial Kingdom #1.

Inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess Chang’e, this sweeping debut fantasy follows a young woman whose desperate bid to save her mother draws her into a deadly struggle with the most powerful immortal in the realm.

Raised in isolation on the moon, Xingyin has lived a quiet life, unaware that her very existence is a secret—one carefully hidden from the ruthless Celestial Emperor who banished her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. When Xingyin’s latent magic is revealed, her sanctuary is shattered, forcing her to flee and leaving her mother behind.

Alone in the dazzling yet treacherous Celestial Kingdom, Xingyin conceals her identity and seizes a rare chance to train beside the emperor’s son, honing her skills in archery and magic as an unexpected romance ignites between them.

Determined to free her mother, Xingyin undertakes a perilous quest filled with legendary beasts, cunning adversaries, and impossible trials. As betrayal closes in and forbidden magic threatens the balance of the realm, she must confront the Celestial Emperor himself—striking a dangerous bargain that could cost her everything she loves or plunge the kingdom into chaos.
