Requiem (1603)

Praise for Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix:&#160;&#160; &ldquo;There aren&rsquo;t many authors who could so precisely undo their first book with their second, but it is this clever unweaving that shows Dao&rsquo;s brilliance and skill. With heart-stopping action and wonderful new characters, this is not a sequel to be missed.&rdquo; &mdash;EK Johnston, #1 New York Times bestselling author &#160; &ldquo;A lush, enchanting tale of magic, myth, and absolute courage. At once gorgeously woven and deliciously gruesome, Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix is a thrilling end to a series that feels like a classic in its own right.&rdquo; &mdash;Natalie Mae, author of The Kinder Poison &#160; &ldquo;Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix is the stunning counterpoint to Forest of a Thousand Lanterns. A refreshing take on the classic heroine, and an adventure of&#160;stories nestled within stories, this is a book fairytale lovers will tuck among their most beloved treasures.&rdquo; &mdash;Emily X.R. Pan, New York Times bestselling author of The Astonishing Color of After &#160; &ldquo;Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix broke my heart and filled it, all at once. In the process, Julie C. Dao has turned a well-worn tale into something thrilling and new. Ornate, tender, and magical. I could not put this book down.&rdquo; &mdash;Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Beasts Made of Night and Crown of Thunder &#160; &ldquo;Beautifully written and masterfully told, Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix feels at once timeless and entirely new&mdash;a cherished classic, destined to be savored for years to come. I loved it with my whole heart.&rdquo; &mdash;Margaret Rogerson, New York Times bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens &#160; &ldquo;Utterly brilliant in every way, Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix is the perfect follow-up to Julie C. Dao&rsquo;s debut. This is the dark fantasy I've been waiting for, and I can't get enough!&rdquo; &mdash;Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Give the Dark My Love"A grand adventure for fans of fairy tales, fables, and legends coupled with the vibrant history of Chinese dynasties."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews* "A top purchase for most fantasy collections." --School Library Journal, starred review"Dao's characters are complex and intriguing . . . Dao brings this richly embroidered saga to asatisfying close." --BooklistPraise for&#160;Forest of a Thousand Lanterns:A Junior Library Guild SelectionA New York Public Library - Best Book for Teens 2017"A richly developed fantasy world coupled with an ambitious anti-heroine of complex agency, this story shines and surprises at every turn.&#160;Julie C. Dao is a talent to watch."&mdash;Marie Lu, #1&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;The Young Elites&#9733; "A&#160;masterful&#160;reimagining of the early life of Snow White&rsquo;s Evil Queen. Subverting the all-too-white world of fairy tales, this novel will trap readers in a lush, dangerously dark, and often beautiful world from which they will want no escape. Xifeng is . . . richly drawn, complicated, and, at times, vulnerable; her relentless pursuit of power a welcome contrast to princesses of the past who seldom had the confidence or strength to determine their own destinies."&mdash;Booklist, starred review&#9733; "Lushly written&#160;. . . The demons [Xifeng] faces are both literal and metaphorical, external and internal, and her tug-of-war with the forces driving her down a dark path makes for&#160;tantalizing&#160;reading. A fascinating examination of destiny, responsibility, and how choices shape a person."&mdash;Publishers Weekly,&#160;starred review"Rich in detail and full of gore and blood, this dark novel will&#160;satisfy &lsquo;Game of Thrones&rsquo; fans."&mdash;School Library Journal&ldquo;A&#160;stunning&#160;reimagining of the Evil Queen. Filled with treacherous courtesans, dark magic, terrible choices, and bloody hearts, Julie Dao&rsquo;s&#160;exquisite&#160;take on this classic villain rises far above the average retelling.&rdquo;&mdash;Stephanie Garber,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Caraval&#160;"Dark, lush, and intense,&#160;Forest of a Thousand Lanterns&#160;draws you into a world filled with mystery and intrigue, led by a heroine determined to grasp her destiny.&#160;A stunning debut!"&mdash;Cindy Pon, author of&#160;WANT&#160;and&#160;Serpentine&ldquo;An enchanting debut with a powerful and ambitious lead. Vivid and seductive,&#160;Forest of a Thousand Lanterns&#160;is&#160;one of the best debuts of the year.&rdquo;&mdash;Zoraida C&oacute;rdova, award-winning author of&#160;Labyrinth Lost"Forest of a Thousand Lanterns&#160;is dark and seductive; beware, this tale will draw you deeper into the forest than you want to go.&#160;Disturbingly good."&mdash;Stacey Lee, award-winning author of&#160;Outrun the Moon&ldquo;Magnetic, seductive, and alluring, Dao&rsquo;s&#160;Forest of a Thousand Lanterns&#160;is a lush, captivating read about desire and the lengths to which we will go to find our true destiny.&rdquo;&mdash;S.

Dao's&#160;Forest of a Thousand Lanterns&#160;is&#160;delicious, addicting, and breathtaking; a book you fall into from the first page to the last.
