Summary
Shelly Parker-Chan: She Who Became the Sun
Destiny comes to those who dare...
From the two-time winner of the British Fantasy Award.
In a famine-stricken village, in the middle of a dusty yellow plain, a prophecy will be uttered. A glorious destiny awaits the boy, and death awaits the girl...
The year is 1345. China is under the iron paw of Mongol rule. For the hungry peasants of the central plains, the landmark exists only in stories. When Zhu Chungbi, an octogenarian son, is foretold by a fortuneteller to have a glorious destiny, everyone wonders how he will achieve it. On the other hand, it is not surprising that death awaits the smart and capable sister of the famous Zhu Zhongba.
However, when a bandit attacks the father and two children, Zhu Zhongba succumbs to despair and dies. "If he took my destiny and died... then maybe I can take his and live," his sister muses. Deciding to assume her brother's identity, she enters the monastery as a young novice. Driven by a burning desire to survive, Zhu realizes that she is capable of doing whatever it takes to escape the clutches of fate.
When her sanctuary collapses in a whirlwind of rebellion against Mongol rule, Zhu builds a different future and becomes famous just as her brother was prophesied.
