NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The first book of a dark and opulent fantasy duology set in a world at war with demons. Don't miss The Dragon and the Sun Lotus, coming in March 2026!

"A sweeping romantasy . . . fast-paced and brimming with a gritty allure."--Adalyn Grace, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Belladonna

"A mesmerizing blend of danger, spellbinding magic, and lush world-building . . . plunges readers into a world of deadly trials and ravenous demons."--Isabel Ibañez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of What the River Knows

Nine years ago, the war between the Kingdom of Night and the Kingdom of Rivers tore Àn'yīng's family apart, leaving her mother barely alive, and a baby sister to fend for. Now the mortal realm is falling into eternal night, and mó--beautiful, ravenous demons--roam, feasting on the souls of humans.

Àn'yīng's only hope now is the Immortality Trials. If she can complete every Trial in the magical competition, she has the chance to save her mother's life. But the Trials are deadly, and the longer Àn'yīng survives, the clearer it is that certain contestants are out for her blood. Even odder, though, is the handsome rival who seems intent on protecting her life. Survival is key, but Àn'yīng will need to figure out if she can trust the stranger she's falling for, or if he's the most dangerous player of all.

In her spare time, she loves to travel and spend time with her family in China, where she's determined to walk the rivers and lakes of old just like the practitioners in her novels do. Amélie is the author of the Blood Heir trilogy: Blood Heir, Red Tigress, and Crimson Reign; Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and its sequel, Dark Star Burning, Ash Falls White; and The Scorpion and the Night Blossom.
