IRON WIDOW meets SIX CRIMSON CRANES in this immersive YA fantasy inspired by Chinese legend, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Chloe Gong.
Eighteen-year-old Aihui Ying dreams of becoming a brilliant engineer just like her beloved father - but her life is torn apart when she arrives a moment too late to stop his murder, and worse, lets the killer slip out of reach. Left with only a journal containing his greatest engineering secrets and a jade pendant snatched from the assassin, Ying vows to take revenge into her own hands.
Disguised as her brother, Ying heads to the capital city, and discovers that the answer to finding who killed her father lies behind the walls of the prestigious Engineers Guild - the home of a past her father never wanted to talk about.

Author(s): Amber Chen
"Of Jade and Dragons" by Amber Chen is primarily targeted towards young adult readers who enjoy fantasy with a strong blend of cultural elements and historical influences. The book's themes of identity, revenge, and perseverance, alongside its rich world-building inspired by Chinese mythology and steampunk aesthetics, make it a compelling read for fans of authors like Leigh Bardugo and Chloe Gong. While the book is suitable for readers aged 14 and up, it is especially appealing to those who appreciate complex characters and intricate plotlines involving political intrigue and mystery.
The novel is written at a level appropriate for young adult readers, with a slightly advanced vocabulary and thematic depth. The narrative includes elements of mystery and fantasy that require readers to engage with a detailed and layered story. The language is accessible but involves enough complexity to challenge teen readers, particularly those interested in stories that mix historical and fantastical settings with engineering and technological themes.
