HTML:"An incredible addition to the classic Chinese court intrigue genre. <i>A Bright Heart</i> is smart, subversive, and certainly swoony."<br /> —Chloe Gong, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>These Violent Delights</i><br /> <b>What if you could avenge your own murder? A brilliant young woman gets a second chance at life in this debut YA tale of vengeance, court intrigue, and romance, inspired by classic Chinese tropes.</b><br /> <br /> Mingshin outsmarted three princes to help the man she loved become king. But she doesn't see Ren's betrayal coming, not until she's lying in a pool of her own blood on the palace steps.<br /> <br /> As she's dying, Mingshin makes a desperate plea to the gods to turn back time and give her a chance to make things right.<br /> <br /> Mingshin wakes up two years earlier, her prayer granted, and swears two things: Ren will never become king, and she will never fall in love again.<br /> <br /> But the timeline in this life has changed: a dignitary gifted with dark magic is threatening her kingdom's peace, and Ren's thirst for power runs deeper than Mingshin could have imagined.<br /> <br /> She finds herself allying with Jieh, another contender for the throne. Mingshin knows better than anyone not to give her heart to a prince. But in the viper's nest of the royal court, she and Jieh prove a phenomenal team. Can Mingshin avert the catastrophe of her past by once again learning to trust...and maybe even love?<br /> <br /> Master storyteller Kate Chenli introduces a singular YA heroine in this vividly rendered and utterly original new fantasy series.<br />.
