She Who Became the Sun
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan, published by Mantle in 2021. This hardcover first UK edition and first printing includes its dust jacket and a striking decorative digitally sprayed or stencilled fore-edge, featuring gold dragons and cloud motifs with white lettering against a red ground.
This copy is flat signed twice by Shelley Parker-Chan: once directly on the title page and once on a decorative signed bookplate mounted on another preliminary page. Neither photographed signature is personalized.
Parker-Chan’s acclaimed historical fantasy reimagines the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang, the peasant rebel who became the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty. Set amid famine, rebellion and Mongol rule in fourteenth-century China, it follows a girl who assumes her deceased brother’s identity and claimed destiny, exploring ambition, survival, gender, power and self-invention. The novel won the 2022 British Fantasy Awards for Best Fantasy Novel and Best Newcomer and was a Hugo Award finalist for Best Novel.
The book is in Very Good overall condition, with minor handling wear consistent with the grade and a small light scuff or nick visible along the photographed decorative edge. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the actual copy offered.
