Serpentine | Cindy Pon
Expected September 8, 2015 from Month9Books, LLC.
SERPENTINE is a sweeping fantasy set in the ancient Kingdom
of Xia and inspired by the rich history of Chinese mythology.
Lush with details from Chinese folklore, SERPENTINE tells the
coming of age story of Skybright, a young girl who worries about her growing
otherness. As she turns sixteen, Skybright notices troubling changes. By day,
she is a companion and handmaid to the youngest daughter of a very wealthy
family. But nighttime brings with it a darkness that not even daybreak can
quell.
When her plight can no longer be denied, Skybright learns
that despite a dark destiny, she must struggle to retain her sense of self –
even as she falls in love for the first time.
“Vivid worldbuilding, incendiary romance, heart-pounding
action, and characters that will win you over--I highly recommend
Serpentine.” Cinda Williams Chima, best-selling author of the Seven
Realms and Heir Chronicles fantasy novels
"Serpentine is unique and surprising, with a
beautifully-drawn fantasy world that sucked me right in! I love Skybright's
transformative power, and how she learns to take charge of it." ~Kristin
Cashore, NYT Bestseller of the Graceling Realm Series
"Serpentine's world oozes with lush details and rich lore,
and the characters crackle with life. This is one story that you'll want to lose
yourself in." ~ Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of Legend and
The Young Elites
