In this first installment in the new Song of the Last Kingdom series, Lan struggles with her identity and feelings of shame, as she is forced to perform as a teahouse "songgirl" for the Elanians who conquered her homeland. At the same time, she is deeply curious about the mysterious scar on her wrist, which her late mother inflicted upon her before her passing. It is Zen, a magician, who recognizes the power Lan's mark contains after saving her from a sudden murder attempt. Thus thrown together, the two attempt to uncover the Elantians' intentions for the people of the Last Kingdom, embarking on a twisty adventure filled with risk and intrigue. Zhao draws inspiration from Chinese history and folklore as she constructs the sweeping fantasy world inhabited by her brave protagonists, whose slow-burn romance adds a different kind of tension to the plot. Readers will quickly find themselves immersed in Lan and Zen's adventure, while also coming to understand how the characters' struggles reflect hardships experienced by the people of China. A well-rounded and interesting fantasy. Grades 9-12. Copyright 2023 Booklist Reviews.
