NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In a fallen kingdom, one girl carries the key to discovering the secrets of her nation's past—and unleashing the demons that sleep at its heart. An epic fantasy series inspired by the mythology and folklore of ancient China.

“Brims with pure magic. Zhao has woven together a story of self-discovery, slow-burning romance, and heart-pounding revelations.” —Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

Lan spends her nights as a songgirl in Haak’gong, a city transformed by the Elantian colonizers. Her days are consumed by the search for knowledge about the strange mark—an untranslatable Hin character—burned into her arm by her mother in her last act before she died.

Zen is a practitioner—one of the fabled magicians of the Last Kingdom. He’s never seen anything like Lan’s mark, but he knows that if there are answers, they lie deep in the pine forests and misty mountains of the Last Kingdom, with an order of practitioning masters planning to overthrow the Elantian regime.

Yet, both Lan and Zen are hiding secrets—secrets that are buried deep within them. Secrets that even they have still to unearth. Both hold the power to liberate their land, if they don't destroy it first.

Now the battle for the Last Kingdom begins.

Inspired by ancient Chinese mythology and folklore, Song of Silver, Flame Like Night transports readers to a lush fantasy world filled with high-stakes adventure, glittering magic, and against-all-odds romance from beginning to end.

Amazing!

A seriously awesome book!
I loved the world, the culture, and the characters. I cannot wait to read the next story.

Fun and well written

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. The narrator was excellent. I look forward to the next one!

Great Storyline

Very enjoyable, I’ve not listened to this author before but will now add her to my list of favorites!

Interesting concept

this is a potentially good history but I had a hard time engaging with the story felt as if it jump all over not necessarily polished as other books by Amelie. found myself losing track if the story and had to replay it. also narrator voice for main character at the beginning was hard to listen to. on the second book same narrator does a better job narrating 2nd book.

Engaging and fun

My only disappointment with this book is that I read it right when it came out and now I have to wait who knows how long for a sequel! It's a fairly long book but there were very few slow moments. Lots of action scenes but also great world building too. I can't wait to hear more!
