Huntress
A high adventure prequel to the acclaimed Ash
In the Kingdom, nature is out of balance, and the survival of the people is in question. The oracle stones pick Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, to go to Tanlili, the fairy city, to solve the crisis. Kaede is of the earth, absolutely ordinary, and Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic.
And yet, as more members of their party are lost to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on one another, and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever.
Malinda Lo’s exciting and romantic quest novel takes place in the world of Ash, but is filled with Chinese influences and details inspired by the I Ching.
