About the book:
Before she was the famous goddess of the moon, she was simply Chang’e.
Once upon a time, there lived a kind, beautiful woman named Chang’e. She and her husband, Hou Yi, were deeply in love and existed in peaceful harmony . . . Until, one day, ten blazing suns rose into the sky and threatened everything they knew. But while the two worked together to save the lands from burning up—someone else they trusted was plotting against them.
This epic romance follows how Chang’e’s bravery and selflessness saved her people, and why, centuries later, they celebrate her and retell her story all over the world.
