Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In a fallen kingdom, one girl carries the key to discovering the secrets of her nation's past--and unleashing the demons that sleep at its heart. An epic fantasy series inspired by the mythology and folklore of ancient China.

"Brims with pure magic. Zhao has woven together a story of self-discovery, slow-burning romance, and heart-pounding revelations." --Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

"A magical tale set in a glittering, dangerous world featuring a dynamic heroine and an enigmatic hero." --Isabel Ibañez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of What The River Knows

Lan spends her nights as a songgirl in Haak'gong, a city transformed by the Elantian colonizers. Her days are consumed by the search for knowledge about the strange mark--an untranslatable Hin character--burned into her arm by her mother in her last act before she died.

Zen is a practitioner--one of the fabled magicians of the Last Kingdom. He's never seen anything like Lan's mark, but he knows that if there are answers, they lie deep in the pine forests and misty mountains of the Last Kingdom, with an order of practitioning masters planning to overthrow the Elantian regime.

Yet, both Lan and Zen are hiding secrets--secrets that are buried deep within them. Secrets that even they have still to unearth. Both hold the power to liberate their land, if they don't destroy it first.

Now the battle for the Last Kingdom begins.

Inspired by ancient Chinese mythology and folklore, Song of Silver, Flame Like Night transports readers to a lush fantasy world filled with high-stakes adventure, glittering magic, and against-all-odds romance from beginning to end.

Ages 14+. Delacorte Press.

Lan's last remnant of her mother--and the fallen Hin dynasty of her ancestors--is a symbol seared onto her wrist, which, if the mysterious boy she encounters is to be trusted, may be the key to freeing her people by mastering the ancient, forgotten art of practitioning.
