—THE HERALD

Athena Liu is a literary darling.
June Hayward is literally nobody.

WHITE LIES

When Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own under the ambiguous name Juniper Song.

DARK HUMOUR

But as evidence threatens June’s stolen success, she will discover exactly how far she’s willing to go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

DEADLY CONSEQUENCES…

What happens next is entirely everyone else’s fault.

A fast-paced, satirical thriller, skewering everything from the co-option of identity politics by the rich and powerful, to the excruciation of trial by social media, to toxic and downright exploitative friendships, all set against the backdrop of contemporary publishing.

Rebecca F Kuang is the award-winning, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of the The Poppy War Trilogy and Babel: An Arcane History, as well as the forthcoming Yellowface. She has an MPhil in Chinese Studies from Cambridge and an MSc in Contemporary Chinese Studies from Oxford; she is now pursuing a PhD in East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale, where she studies diaspora, contemporary Chinese literature, and Asian American literature.
