      The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller An immersive historical fantasy, She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan is a queer retelling of one legendary Chinese ruler's rise to power. 'Magnificent in every way. War, desire, vengeance, politics - Shelley Parker-Chan has perfectly measured each ingredient' - Samantha Shannon, author of The Priory of the Orange Tree In a famine-stricken village on a dusty plain, a seer shows two children their fates. For a family's eighth-born son, there's greatness. For the second daughter, nothing. In 1345, China lies restless under harsh Mongol rule. And when a bandit raid wipes out their home, the two children must somehow survive. Zhu Chongba despairs and gives in. But the girl resolves to overcome her destiny. So she takes her dead brother's identity and begins her journey. Can Zhu escape what's written in the stars, as rebellion sweeps the land? Or can she claim her brother's greatness - and rise, ruthlessly, to take the dragon throne? This is a glorious tale of love, loss, betrayal and triumph by a powerful new voice. She Who Became the Sun is a reimagining of the rise to power of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu was the peasant rebel who expelled the Mongols, unified China under native rule, and became the founding Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 'Epic, tragic and gorgeous' - Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January

      "Les loups-garous peuvent être dangereux si vous vous mettez en travers de leur chemin. Ils ont un talent extraordinaire pour dissimuler leur véritable nature aux yeux des humains. Mais moi, je ne suis pas tout à fait humaine." En effet, Mercy Thompson n'est pas une fille des plus banales. Mécanicienne dans le Montana, c'est une dure à cuire qui n'hésite pas à mettre les mains dans le cambouis et à sortir les griffes quand le danger frappe à sa porte. Mais ce n'est pas tout : son voisin très sexy est le chef de meute d'une bande de loups-garous, le minibus qu'elle bricole en ce moment appartient à un vampire, et la vieille dame très digne qui lui rend visite vient jeter des sorts sur son garage. Au coeur de ce monde des créatures de la nuit, Mercy se trouve mêlée à une délicate affaire de meurtre et d'enlèvement...
