Daughter of Dynasties (Hua #1)

An inescapable fate drawn from the stars.
A blood-feud weighed down by a twisted past.
An ancient evil on a path of destruction.

It is the year of the Dragon, and war has devoured the continent of Heishu. North faces south as neighbouring kingdoms clash over crimson plains, clueless to the fact that mere mortal battles will soon be the least of their worries. When a horrific chain of events is triggered, whispers of a forgotten fairytale spreads across the land, and deadly creatures that belong only in myth begin to stir.

On the night of her nineteenth birthday, Princess Hua Yifei of the southern nation of Yulan finds herself at the heart of a thousand-year-old prophecy----a legend that foretells of divine archons, devilry, and a peculiar magic with a mind of its own. Plunged into an unfamiliar world where every step could be fatal, the princess quickly realizes no one is to be trusted. Especially not Prince Shen, heir to the enemy kingdom... and Yifei's first love.

The world is changing for the worse, and Yifei must adapt accordingly to ensure her empire's survival----even if it means surrendering her very humanity to do so.
