THE SCORPION AND THE NIGHT BLOSSOM
BY AMÉLIE WEN ZHAO
Goodreads Description:
In a world at war with demons, one girl will
face the ultimate test when she is forced to enter into an ancient,
deadly competition for the chance to save her mother's soul… before she
loses her forever. From the
New York Times
bestselling author of
Song of Silver, Flame Like Night
comes the beginning of a dark and opulent fantasy duology, perfect for fans of
Throne of Glass.
Nine years ago, the war between the Kingdom of Night and
the Kingdom of Rivers tore Àn’yīng’s family apart, leaving her mother
barely alive and a baby sister to fend for. Now the mortal realm is
falling into eternal night, and mó—beautiful, ravenous demons—roam the
land, feasting on the flesh of humans and drinking their souls.
Àn’yīng is no longer a helpless child, though. Armed with her crescent
blades and trained in the ancient art of practitioning, she has decided
to enter the Immortality Trials, which are open to any mortal who can
survive the journey to the immortal realm. Those who complete the Trials
are granted a pill of eternal life—the one thing Àn’yīng knows can heal
her dying mother. But to attain the prize, she must survive the
competition.
Death is common in the Trials. Yet oddly, Àn’yīng
finds that someone is helping her stay alive. A rival contestant.
Powerful and handsome, Yù’chén is as secretive about his past as he is
about his motives for protecting Àn’yīng.
The longer she
survives the Trials, the clearer it becomes that all is not right in the
immortal realm. To save her mother and herself, Àn’yīng will need to
figure out whether she can truly trust the stranger she’s falling for or
if he’s the most dangerous player of all . . . for herself and for all
the realms.
