We just released the second book in our new series, Heroes of Ancient China. It’s called Chang’e the Moon Goddess, and it’s written by the best-selling team of Jeff Pepper and Xiao Hui Wang. Here’s the back cover blurb:

Chang’e, eldest daughter of a powerful sky god, makes a foolish mistake and is exiled from the heavenly world, condemned to live out her days as an earthbound mortal. The archer Hou Yi dives through the clouds to follow her, and together they save the human world from destruction.

But Chang’e drinks a magic elixir and finds herself trapped alone on the cold, distant moon, with only the Jade Rabbit for companionship. She builds a palace there and faces countless challenges, including a drunken naval officer and a wily demon.

This book  is written using only 770 different Chinese words, most of which are in the HSK3 vocabulary. It is presented in Simplified Chinese and pinyin, and includes a complete English translation and glossary of all words used.

This retelling of one of China’s most beloved legends brings timeless themes to life for modern readers. Chang’e is a celebration of courage and compassion, and a reminder that even in exile, light can endure.

A free audiobook is available on YouTube, on the Imagin8 Press channel.

You can buy the book on Amazon, here. The ebook should be available within a week, and the free audiobook should be up on YouTube within two weeks.

Enjoy, and keep an eye out for the next books in the series!
