The romantic prequel to Ghosts of the Past and Princess Anyu Returns takes you into the story of Princess Anlei and the succession crisis that sets the stage for the heroes and villains of Ghosts of the Past. The lavish world-building of the series is established here and as such is a valuable read for diving into the Peers of Beinan universe and understanding the history that underscores the main novels. A simple, clean romance story suitable for middle grade and young adults, this is part fairy tale in space and part social sci-fi drama that your entire family can enjoy together.
