Hong Kong’s stories are disappearing…along with the only memories of Athena’s mother. And Kai, her uncle, will stop at nothing to bring Moon back.
Athena Pang is failing Chinese history, running on caffeine and spite, and absolutely not prepared to discover that her village’s oldest legends are real. Then when she gets chosen to be the last Storyteller, a soggy phoenix launches her into a quest to gather the Pearl shatds , and a broken world of spirits, protectors, and old grudges starts closing in around her.
With a sarcastic mouth, a notebook full of dreams, and zero fighting skills , Athena must team up with other chosen protectors, face ghosts, foxes, monsters, and unravel the truth buried inside her family’s past, and figure out why Hong Kong itself seems to be waiting for her
