Tyrants cut out hearts. Rulers sacrifice their own
Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, but when her beloved father is murdered, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of an unstable kingdom. Determined to find her father’s killer, Hesina does something desperate: she engages the aid of a soothsayer—a treasonous act, punishable by death… because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago.
Using the information illicitly provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust even her family, Hesina turns to Akira—a brilliant and alluring investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. With the future of her kingdom at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high?
In this shimmering Chinese-inspired fantasy, debut author Joan He introduces a determined and vulnerable young heroine struggling to do right in a world brimming with deception.
I’ve been seeing buzz about this one for months, and so I felt like I had to check out what it’s about. It looks amazing and I’m all about that cover. Looking forward to reading this one! Descendant of the Crane is out April 2nd 2019 from Albert Whitman Company.

I love the look and sound of this one and that we’re getting more books here in the US that aren’t set here. I hope we both enjoy this one!
I’m really enjoying the different settings too!
Yeah, this sounds so good! And the cover is just jaw-dropping!

Excited for this one too! I thought it was a short story collection at first for some reason, but then I found out it was full novel so I nabbed the ARC immediately. 😀
Oooh, looking forward to your thoughts!
I’m also getting excited for this one, especially because of the hype it is already getting! Also the cover is amazing!
