Xingyin, who was raised on the moon and is used to living alone, has no idea that she is being protected from the infamous Celestial Emperor, who banished her mother for taking his immortality elixir. However, Xingyin is compelled to leave her mother behind when her magic flares and her presence is detected, forcing her to leave her home.
She travels to the Celestial Kingdom, a place of wonder and mystery, alone, helpless, and terrified. She disguises her identity and takes advantage of the chance to train with the emperor's son, becoming proficient in magic and archery even as a passionate relationship develops between her and the prince.
Xingyin sets off on a treacherous journey to rescue her mother, facing out against ferocious foes and mythical monsters both on land and in the air. She must confront the cruel Celestial Emperor for her dream, negotiating a risky deal in which she must decide between losing all she holds dear and bringing the kingdom to anarchy, but furthermore, when betrayal and forbidden magic threaten the country.
An engrossing first fantasy set against the mightiest immortal in the kingdom, as a young lady fights to save her mother, is based on the mythology of Chang'e, the Chinese moon goddess. Daughter of the Moon Goddess is the first of a captivating, love-filled duology that intertwines magic and mythology from ancient China into a grand adventure involving immortals and magic, where love and honor compete, dreams are rife with treachery, and hope triumphs.
