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

“A magical tale set in a glittering, dangerous world featuring a dynamic heroine and an enigmatic hero.” —Isabel Ibañez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of What The River Knows

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 listeners to a lush fantasy world filled with high-stakes adventure, glittering magic, and against-all-odds romance from beginning to end.

“The perfect book for fans of the Chinese xianxia fantasy genre.” —The Nerd Daily

Amazing!

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

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!

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!

Stunning and Action Packed Debut

Boy Oh boy! this book felt like being on a roller coaster where you feel like your constantly going up waiting for gravity to take you down. AND MY OH MY this author has done so with the closing of this book coming to an end.
This is a great tale between power and control; Each character has to discover their own power and learn to control that power. In doing so, that’s the true testament of the strength they have.

Rated 4.25!

I really, really enjoyed this! It was fast paced, magical and enchanting. I went through this SO quickly, especially considering I listened to it on audio. I could not get through this book fast enough! I read Blood Heir a few years ago, and I think you can see how AWZ has grown as an author. I will definitely be picking up the next book.

Also narration was fantastic!

not bad

the story isn't bad, but some of the works building needed work, specificity in the description

Derivative

I just didn't care for the poorly developed characters. Many YA tropes with the main character really not learning or growing while being a bit of a Mary Sue.
Halfway through the book it seemed she just needed a villain so grabbed a character? It seemed like loss for the sake of drama.

It was good overall

I think the story was a refreshing. I was hoping for a bit more of romance but that just my taste in book but I like it there was enough to keep me satisfied but the world building was nice as well

Gorgeous, ethereal fantasy!

The characters and world-building were beautifully brought to life and woven together. The detail and history of the world is rich and filled with torment and triumph in equal measure. The narration is wonderful! Annie does an excellent job of establishing different voices for each character and truly brings them to vibrant life. I loved every minute of this story and greatly anticipate it’s continuation in a follow-up book!
