Shadows on the Moon
A magical twist on Cinderella from a talented fantasy writer
A powerful tale of magic, love and revenge set in a fairy-tale Japan; this is Cinderella meets Memoirs of a Geisha. The brightest illusions hid the darkest truths… Trained in the magical art of shadow-weaving, sixteen-year-old Suzume is able to recreate herself in any form – a fabulous gift for a girl desperate to escape her past. But who is she really? Is she a girl of noble birth living under the tyranny of her mother’s new husband, Lord Terayama, or a lowly drudge scraping a living in the ashes of Terayama’s kitchens, or Yue, the most beautiful courtesan in the Moonlit Lands? Whatever her true identity, Suzume is destined to capture the heart of a prince – and determined to use his power to destroy Terayama. And nothing will stop her, not even love.
