Books like Song of Silver, Flame Like Night by Amélie Wen Zhao
Lan bears an untranslatable Hin mark that links her to a mother lost in a colonial invasion of her homeland. Living as a songgirl in the Elantian‑occupied city of Haak’gong, she scavenges the ruins of her past. When Zen, a fabled magician from the dissolved Last Kingdom, appears in her teahouse, he recognizes the powerful qi in her mark and the forgotten magic it represents. Together, bound by secret histories, they must navigate the pine forests and misty mountains of their people, where a hidden order of practitioners plans to overthrow the Elantian regime. Their destinies interlace—each holds the potential to liberate their land or to unleash unimaginable destruction.
