Summary
Shelley Parker-Chan: She Who Became the Sun
The novel "She Who Became the Sun" tells the story of the rise to power of the founder of the Ming Dynasty. In order to obtain the Mandate of Heaven, nun Zhu is ready to do anything.
In a famine-stricken village in a yellow dusty plain, two children await two different destinies. The boy is destined to achieve magnificent success. For a little girl to turn into nothingness... In 1345, China is under the merciless rule of the Mongols. To the starving peasants of the central plains, grandeur and sublimity are known only from stories. When the eighth-born son of the Zhu family, Zhu Chongbi, was told that his destiny would lead him to a high and important position, no one could even imagine how this could happen. On the other hand, the prediction that the intelligent and capable second daughter of the family will turn into nothing is completely expected. But when those two children are left without parents after an attack by robbers, Zhu Chongba indulges in duality and dies. In a desperate effort to avoid the announced death, the girl assumes her brother's identity and enters the monastery as a young religious novice. Driven by an unstoppable desire to survive, Zhu learns there that she is capable of doing whatever it takes, no matter how cruel, to avoid that fate. After her monastery is destroyed for supporting a rebellion against Mongol rule, Zhu risks everything and decides to try to achieve an entirely different destiny: to achieve the greatness and glory her brother gave up on. Shelley Parker-Chan is an Australian fantasy writer best known for her debut novel She Who Became the Sun and the sequel She Who Drowned the World, which form the Duology of Emperor Blistavile.
