He Who Drowned the World (Der strahlende Kaiser II) (limitierte Collector's Edition mit Farbschnitt und Miniprint)
Zhus epische Reise geht weiter und findet seine Vollendung in der Fortsetzung des internationalen Bestseller SHE WHO BECAME THE SUN. Zhu Yuanzhang, der "strahlende König", strebt nach ihrem Sieg über die mongolischen Herren in Südchina nach einem neuen Ziel: dem Kaiserthron. Doch sie ist nicht allein mit diesen Ambitionen. Die Kurtisane Madame Zhang aus dem Süden plant dasselbe für ihren Mann - und sie ist stark genug, Zhu auszulöschen. Noch ein weiterer Thronanwärter steht bereit: Wang Baoxiang, ein verschmähter Gelehrter, der sich in die Hauptstadt eingeschlichen hat und das Reich durch tödliche Hofintrigen bedroht. Um im Spiel zu bleiben, muss Zhu alles auf ein riskantes Bündnis mit einem alten Feind setzen: dem talentierten, aber labilen Eunuchen-General Ouyang. Jeder Anwärter ist bereit, alles zu tun, um zu gewinnen. Doch wenn die Gier und der Ehrgeiz schier unendlich sind, könnte der Preis selbst für das rücksichtsloseste Herz zu hoch sein.

She Who Became the Sun
Die Neuerzählung einer chinesischen Legende: Shelley Parker-Chan zeichnet den Aufstieg Zhu Yuanzhangs nach, jenes armen Bauern, der einst die Mongolenherrschaft stürzte und die Ming-Dynastie gründete. Ein Dorf im staubigen Flachland, geplagt von einer Hungersnot. Ein Seher offenbart zwei Kindern ihre Zukunft: Den Jungen erwartet ein bedeutendes Schicksal, das Mädchen dagegen - nichts. Im Jahr 1345 steht China unter der brutalen Herrschaft der Mongolen. Plünderer ziehen durch das Land und überfallen die armen Bauern. Auch ins Dorf der Kinder kommen sie und machen die beiden zu Waisen. Während Zhu Chongba verzweifelt und aufgibt, fasst das Mädchen jedoch den Entschluss, sein Schicksal zu ändern. Sie nimmt die Identität ihres toten Bruders an. Kann Zhu dem entkommen, was doch in den Sternen geschrieben steht? Oder kann sie das bedeutende Schicksal ihres Bruders für sich selbst beanspruchen - und letztlich so hoch aufsteigen, wie sie nur träumen kann? Eine epische Geschichte über Liebe, Verlust, Verrat und Triumph von einer eindringlichen neuen Erzählerstimme! "She Who Became the Sun" gewann den British Fantasy Award in zwei Kategorien - sowohl für den besten Roman als auch für das beste Nachwuchstalent - und war Finalist für den Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction und den Hugo Award für den besten Roman.

Lei che divenne il sole
Una piana polverosa, un villaggio tormentato dalla siccità, un indovino. È così che due bambini apprendono il loro fato: per il maschio si prepara un futuro di eccellenza; per la femmina, nulla. Ma nella Cina del 1345, che soggiace irrequieta al gioco della dominazione mongola, l'unica "eccellenza" che i contadini possono immaginare è negli antichi racconti e il vecchio Zhu non sa proprio come suo figlio, Chongba, potrà avere successo. Viceversa, la sorte della figlia, per quanto intelligente e capace, non stupisce nessuno. Quando un'incursione di banditi devasta la loro casa e li rende orfani, però, è Chongba che si arrende alla disperazione e muore. La sorella decide invece di combattere contro il suo destino: assume l'identità del fratello e inizia il suo viaggio, in una terra in cui si è accesa la fiamma della rivolta. Riuscirà a sfuggire a ciò che è scritto nelle stelle? Potrà rivendicare per sé la grandezza promessa al fratello e sollevarsi oltre i suoi stessi sogni? In questo acclamato fantasy storico Shelley Parker-Chan riscrive la vicenda di Zhu Yuanzhang, il contadino ribelle che nella Cina del XIV secolo cacciò i mongoli, unificò il Paese e divenne il primo imperatore della gloriosa dinastia Ming.
