From the acclaimed author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns comes a fantastical new tale of darkness and love, in which magical bonds are stronger than blood.
Will love break the spell? After cruelly rejecting Bao, the poor physician's apprentice who loves her, Lan, a wealthy nobleman's daughter, regrets her actions. So when she finds Bao's prized flute floating in his boat near her house, she takes it into her care, not knowing that his soul has been trapped inside it by an evil witch, who cursed Bao, telling him that only love will set him free. Though Bao now despises her, Lan vows to make amends and help break the spell.
Together, the two travel across the continent, finding themselves in the presence of greatness in the forms of the Great Forest's Empress Jade and Commander Wei. They journey with Wei, getting tangled in the webs of war, blood magic, and romance along the way. Will Lan and Bao begin to break the spell that's been placed upon them? Or will they be doomed to live out their lives with black magic running through their veins?
In this fantastical tale of darkness and love, some magical bonds are stronger than blood.
*Includes a PDF of the cast of characters.

      Kim Mai Guest, who has previously narrated Dao's Rise of the Empress fantasy series, returns with an engaging performance of the latest installment. Lan, a nobleman's daughter, and Bao, an orphaned physician's apprentice, become entangled in a time-bound curse that only a declaration of true love can dispel. Dao's rich world-building immerses listeners in bustling markets, sumptuous residences, murky river passageways, and other locales that bring the story alive. The teenage protagonists' palpable chemistry, drawn by Guest's emotionally attuned characterizations, evolves amid a world on the brink of war, a mysterious disease, and family secrets. References and characters from the previous novels appear, though new series listeners will have no difficulty following events. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
