ANN LIANG is the New York Times and Indie bestselling author of the critically acclaimed YA novels This Time It's Real, If You Could See the Sun, and I Hope This Doesn't Find You. Her books have sold into over twenty foreign territories. Born in Beijing, she grew up traveling back and forth between China and Australia, but somehow ended up with an American accent. She now lives in Melbourne, where she can be found making overambitious to-do lists and having profound conversations with her pet labradoodle about who's a good dog.
"""Nobody does yearning and sacrifice better than the Chinese classics, and Liang has given us a new classic that achingly captures the will of kings, the intelligence of women, and the heartbreak of war. Exquisite and devastating. It won't fail to move you."" -Shelley Parker-Chan, #1 Sunday Times Bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun and He Who Drowned the World ""Ann Liang has fashioned an elegant historical epic, honouring the ingenuity of women in the face of impossible odds. With impeccable pacing, evocative prose, and a romance that had my heart in a vice, A Song to Drown Rivers will call you onward, page by page, until you reach its devastating end."" - Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of The Bone Season and The Priory of the Orange Tree ""A stunning, heart-rending feat of a story. A Song to Drown Rivers retells ancient legend with phenomenal voice, bringing a truly worthwhile addition to the historical fiction genre."" -Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings ""By turns searingly ambitious and heartbreakingly intimate, A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS is an incisive, intricately crafted examination of power, politics, and what we'll become for those we love. This story swept me away."" -Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief ""Ann Liang doesn't simply capture Xishi's indescribable beauty; she transcends it. An emotional odyssey that you'll want to read again and again--the first time with your heart in your throat, and every time after to savor each stolen look and word."" - Joan He, New York Times bestselling author of The Ones We're Meant to Find ""Poignant and devastating, A Song to Drown Rivers is filled with yearning, a breathtaking story that examines, with both gentleness and relentless honesty, those caught up in the violent ambitions of people in power."" - Andrea Stewart, internationally bestselling author of The Drowning Empire trilogy ""Exquisite, riveting, heart-wrenching. Prepare to be swept away by the beautiful writing, forbidden love and complex characters, that have you rooting for them against the odds."" -Sue Lynn Tan, USA Today bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess ""Liang shines an intimate light on the legendary Xishi, whose beauty is both boon and burden, and whose journey from naive peasant to reluctant hero--and perhaps, calculating villain--spins a devastatingly romantic tale of survival and sacrifice amidst the rise and fall of empires."" -June CL Tan, internationally bestselling author of Jade Fire Gold and Darker By Four ""If you are looking for a book that reads like a historical c-drama, then look no further. A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS is just the book you need.
