Praise for A Palace Near the Wind:Enchanting, mysterious, and strange, A Palace Near the Wind is a heartbreaking story of homecoming and self-discovery. Combining the best of folklore and science fiction, this eco-narrative on human greed and superhuman hope is not to be missed.-Kritika H. Rao, author of The Surviving SkyA fantastic and magical tale of survival and rebellion set against the backdrop of a struggle between nature and the forces of industry. Ai Jiang has written a beautiful and all too-fitting story that resonates with the choices we face in our times.-P. DjËlÌ Clark, author of The Dead Cat Tail Assassins and A Master of DjinnA breathtakingly imagined story of ecological disaster, torn families, betrayal, and hope. Unlike anything I've ever read before-like Ghibli retelling Tolkien through Chinese myth-with tree-like deities, political intrigue, wind magic, and mecha. Utterly enchanting.-A.Y. Chao, author of Shanghai ImmortalBeautifully written and intricately layered, this novella is part fairy tale and part tale of rebellion and hope. A compelling and complex story of court politics, hidden secrets, sacrifices, alliances, and characters fighting for their freedom.-A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling and HookedHaunting and lovely, Jiang creates a world of wonder in A Palace Near the Wind. Your heart will break as Lufeng must give up her home, her beliefs, and her sense of family. You'll root for her as she builds her courage to forge a new future for herself, and those precious to her.-Julia Vee, co-author of The Phoenix Hoard trilogyElegant and otherworldly. A tale of family and duty, devotion and obligation - and the shattering secrets hidden in every past. A glorious new myth from a talented new voice.-A.G. Slatter, author of All the Murmuring Bones and The Briar Book of the DeadA beautiful, heart-rending parable about the ways grief and loss feed on the vitality of the living, eventually making ghosts of us all.-Gareth L. Powell, author of Stars and Bones and Future's Edge
