Inspired by the rich history of Chinese mythology, this sweeping fantasy is
set in the ancient Kingdom of Xia and tells the coming of age story of
Skybright, a young girl who worries about her growing otherness. As she
turns 16, 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.
