Bookseller recommendation
“If you’re a fan of She Who Became The Sun, you’ll need to pick up The Water Outlaws by S.L. Huang. This gender-bent and queer retelling of The Water Margin is action-packed and next to impossible to put down. If Chinese fantasy is your genre, this may become your new favorite. ”
— Lauren • Friendly City Books
Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor's soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job. But then a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away. Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.
S.L. Huang is a Hugo-winning and Amazon-bestselling author who justifies an MIT degree by using it to write eccentric mathematical superhero fiction. The author of the Cas Russell novels as well as Burning Roses and The Water Outlaws, she has had short fiction published in Analog, F&SF, Nature, and more, including best-of anthologies. She is also a Hollywood stunt performer and firearms expert, with credits including Battlestar Galactica and Top Shot. For more information, visit SLHuang.com.
