Where the Lotus Blooms

A princess, a demon, and a land colder than ice – Beauty and the Beast meets the Legend of the White Snake in this and fantastical adventure, where an exiled princess must learn to command her dangerous and unstable magic, or doom her people to a frosty fate.

Snow-covered Delun is all Princess Lian has known, along with the tales of demons clashing with her people inscribed in library books and whispered stories.

As Delun grows colder and more desperate, Lian's brother proposes marriage to the princess of a wealthier kingdom. Lian's duty is to assist her brother – and her kingdom's survival – by planning a welcome banquet for her brother's betrothed and playing the part of the perfect sister.

But when dangerous magic hidden inside Lian is accidentally unleashed, she is exiled to the Sunset Pagoda deep in the bitter wilderness.

The ancient prison teems with powerful demons Lian once believed were long dead. But to escape and save Delun, Lian must first harness her magic alongside the Serpent Lord who reigns over the Sunset Pagoda – and she begins to learn that her kingdom’s history may not be as true as she thought, or her magic as terrible.

Rooted in Chinese mythology and folklore, Where the Lotus Blooms is a lush, slow-burn fantasy romance about a girl who was raised to disappear and the forbidden world that finally teaches her to bloom.

Featuring:

• enemies-to-lovers romance • spirit world fantasy and rich world building • reincarnation and a past life mystery
