> “Fantastic, defiant, utterly brilliant.” —Ken Liu.

Zen Cho returns with _The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water_, a found family wuxia fantasy that combines the vibrancy of old school martial arts movies with characters drawn from the margins of history. A bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there.

**Guet Imm**, a young votary of the Order of the Pure Moon, joins up with an eclectic group of thieves (whether they like it or not) in order to protect a sacred object, and finds herself in a far more complicated situation than she could have ever imagined.
