Tao Tao Liu introduces us to an intriguing cast of gods, goddesses, dragons and monks, including: the ancient hero, Yi the Archer, who shot suns out of the sky to save humanity from a drought; Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, to whom there are temples dedicated all over East Asia; and Madame White Snake, a water snake spirit in the guise of a mysterious widow, her story adapted into countless films and operas. This book is for anyone interested in China, as knowing its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture in a new light.

Nenechajte si ujsť návrat do sveta krutých férov!
Od Bitky hada uplynulo osem rokov. Lady Nore z Dvora zubov sa opäť usadila na neprístupnom severe, kde vdychuje život príšerám z konárov a snehu, verným služobníkom, ktorí sú pripravení svoju paniu pomstiť.
Jediná, kto má nad krutou lady moc, je jej dcéra, mladučká kráľovná Dvora zubov. Suren však utiekla do sveta smrteľníkov a zvolila si divoký život v lesoch, presvedčená, že sa na ňu zabudlo. Všetko sa zmení, keď ju nočnými ulicami začne prenasledovať Bogdana, bosorka búrok, a Suren sa dočká nečakanej záchrany - z rúk princa Oaka, dediča Elfhamu. Už roky voči nemu prechováva nevraživosť, hoci mala byť jeho nevestou.
Šarmantného Oaka, zvyknutého omotať si všetkých okolo prsta, vedie výprava na sever a prišiel poprosiť Suren o pomoc. Jej súhlas by však znamenal, že mladá kráľovná bude musieť čeliť všemožným nástrahám - a hlavne chlapcovi, ktorého poznala ako dieťa, princovi, ktorému sa nedá veriť. A hrôzam, ktoré mali ostať pochované hlboko v minulosti.
