#BookReview: The Heavenly Sword (Sword Maiden from the Moon #1) by @alicepoon1




ABOUT THIS BOOK:
"An emotional, imaginative, wild ride!" - Larry Feign, author of The Flower Boat Girl

The Heavenly Sword is the first part of a spellbinding duology weaving Chinese mythical folklore and speculative history into a sweeping tale of family love, fellowship loyalty, loss, sacrifice and kung fu rivalry.

Set in a world of human conflicts, fantastical martial arts, sorcery and celestial magic, Alice Poon’s debut fantasy follows a martial maiden’s heartbreaking adventures in her quest for love and justice. 

The goddess Chang’e is sent to the mortal world to stop the Sky Wolf Zhu Di’s plans to usurp the throne. Reborn as Tang Sai’er, a simple village girl, her celestial mission requires her to learn special martial arts skills, but in order to achieve unrivaled mastery, she must battle against her growing feelings for a member of the evil tyrant’s court. 

To protect her family and the village people from the effects of Zhu Di’s brutal civil war, Sai’er and her allies must pit themselves against the wicked new Emperor and other adversaries including the vicious Green Dragon. But even with immortals’ help in the process, she finds that her mission might exact too steep a price!
