Author Debut ~ Cindy Pon...

Looking for something different to read? A story set in a different time and place? Tomorrow is the release of the debut novel by Cindy Pon. Silver Phoenix: Beyond the Kingdom of Xia is a YA release but the premise and the location are what grabbed my attention. I'm not a big reader of YA but my daughter Abby is and Silver Phoenix will definitely make it's way to our home.

From the author's website:

on the day of her first betrothal meeting--and rejection--ai ling discovers a power welling deep within her. she can reach into other people’s spirits, hear their thoughts, see their dreams…and that’s just the beginning.

ai ling has been marked by the immortals; her destiny lies in the emperor’s palace, where a terrible evil has lived, stealing souls, for centuries. she must conquer this enemy and rescue her captive father, while mythical demons track her every step. and then she meets chen yong, a young man with a quest of his own, whose fate is intertwined with hers. here is a heart-stopping, breathtaking tale for fans of action, fantasy, and romance--of anything with the making of legend.

If the blurb and beautiful cover don't pull you in maybe the trailer will ~
