In recent years, fantasy novels like Percy Jackson have captivated young adult readers worldwide. However, few have explored the rich fantasy elements found in Chinese mythology. That's why author Chen Yuru 陳郁如 took on the task of creating a fantasy novel specifically for Chinese readers!
Drawing inspiration from the concept of "animals training and transforming into spirits," Chen skillfully weaves elements from ancient texts such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"《山海經》and the "Records of the Unworldly and Strange" 《拾遺記》into the story.
With every word, she infuses the narrative with enchantment while embodying the virtues and brilliance of human nature!
Twelve-year-old Amy, a mixed-race child, visits her grandmother's house in Taiwan during her summer. One early morning, Amy discovers peculiar lights chasing each other in the mountains. Curious, she goes out to take a look and meets Liu Yingmu 劉影木, a girl of the same age. They quickly become good friends, and Amy frequently visits Liu's home.
One day, Amy and Yingmu encounter a group of delinquent teenagers who were giving them trouble. These teenagers appear to possess some mysterious powers, when Yingmu's brother, Yunqi 允祁, comes to their rescue.
Through this incident, Amy learns that the Liu family practices spells and magic. What surprises her even more is discovering a mysterious energy within herself that she doesn't know how to unleash. As a result, the Liu family guides Amy in her cultivation, teaching her to harness her own abilities...
In this thrilling fantasy tale, readers will follow Amy's journey of self-discovery, friendship, and the struggle between good and evil. With its captivating storyline, rich mythological elements, and themes of courage and determination, this book will leave readers eagerly turning each page, immersed in an enchanting world where magic and Chinese history intertwine!
