About this listen

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 new fantasy duology inspired by Chinese mythology.

Once, Lan had a different name. Now, she goes by the one the Elantian colonizers gave her. She spends her days scavenging for remnants of the past. For anything that might help her understand the strange mark burned into her arm by her mother, in her last act before she died.

No one can see the mysterious mark – until the night Zen appears at the teahouse and saves her life.

Zen is a practitioner, one of the fabled magicians of the Last Kingdom, whose abilities were rumoured to be drawn from the demons they communed with. Magic believed to be long lost. Magic to be hidden at all costs.

Both Lan and Zen have secrets buried deep within. Fate has connected them, but their destiny remains unwritten. Both hold the power to liberate their land. And both hold the power to destroy the world.

A ferocious tale of romance and fate, SONG OF SILVER, FLAME LIKE NIGHT is a gift to those seeking adventure with a mythological twist.

Perfect for fans of DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS by Sue Lynn Tan, THE FINAL STRIFE by Saara El-Arifi, and IRON WIDOW by Xiran Jay Zhao.

"Devastatingly gorgeous. From the bustling, conquered port city to the mysterious school waiting in the mountains, each page of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night unfolds with a deliberate, skilled hand. Amélie Wen Zhao writes with a direct line to my heart." (Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights)

Perfect for fans of The Untamed. I loved it!" (Shelley Parker-Chan, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun)

Performer sounds bored

The story was great but the narrators lack of enthusiasm takes you out at times. I wouldn’t have finished it but I really wanted to see where it went. If the rest of the books in this series are read the same way I won’t bother.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
