For Ever More

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the burden of family expectations or the confusing transition of learning that the adults in their life are fallible and sometimes even dangerous. This lush fantasy sequel follows Yining as she flees a corrupt regime, grappling with newfound magical powers and the weight of her ancestral legacy. It is a story about finding one's internal compass when external structures crumble. While the stakes are high and the world is filled with peril, the emotional core focuses on trust, the nuances of loyalty, and the bravery required to define oneself apart from one's lineage. It is an excellent choice for 13 to 18 year olds who enjoy high-stakes adventure rooted in rich cultural mythology and complex emotional growth.
