A snake spirit transforms into a boy and must hide his true identity after falling for a headstrong prince in this lush, romantasy retelling of the traditional Chinese folktale, Legend of the White Snake, by Sher Lee. Gorgeous cover design by Kuri Huang. When Prince Xian was a boy, a white snake bit his mother and condemned her to a slow, painful death. The only known cure is an antidote created from the rare white snake itself. Desperate and determined, Xian is determined to capture one and cure his mother. Soon, Xian encounters an enigmatic but beautiful stable boy named Zhen, and the two are immediately drawn to each other. But Zhen might just be the human embodiment of the white snake Xian is hunting, and as their feelings grow deeper, will the truth about Zhen's identity tear them apart
Sher Lee writes rom-coms and fantasy novels for teens. Fake Dates and Mooncakes is her debut. Like the main character, she has made mooncakes with her favorite aunt and has an abiding love for local street food (including an incredible weakness for xiao long bao). She lives in New Zealand with her husband and two adorable corgis, Spade and Clover.
