Jolie Lam is an outcast until she saves the popular girl at school—propelling her into a world of eerie premonitions, ancient magic, and a fated epic battle—in this lush fantasy adventure inspired by Vietnamese lore.

“Lyrical, magical, and haunting, with a compelling protagonist full of determination and heart.”—Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Legend trilogy

“Blending true Vietnamese history and folklore with an enchanting dose of magic and mystery . . . not to be missed!”—Amber Chen, bestselling author of The Blood Phoenix
Jolie Lam, a high school sophomore in San Jose, is known for two things: her bizarre freak-out at last year’s swim meet and her fortune teller grandfather with visions of dragons and earthquakes. Friendless and ostracized, Jolie finds her life takes a dramatic turn for the better when she saves the school’s it-girl, Huong Pham, during a haunting vision of her own. Taken under Huong’s wing, Jolie watches her world transform, in more ways than one.

As the two girls’ bond deepens, they unlock long-lost powers: telepathic abilities, eerie premonitions, and influence over the four elements. Which leads to a shocking revelation—one that connects them to legendary queens and goddesses of ancient Vietnam. At first, they’re thrilled by the discovery and their newfound power, but now their lives are in great peril. And so the girls must navigate dreams and portals to the past to claim immortal elements before their ancient enemies strike.

But all is not what it seems, and Jolie will need to determine friend from foe, truth from lie, and ultimately right from wrong in this battle for all she loves and the fate of the world.

The first book in an enchanting fantasy duology inspired by Vietnamese history and lore, The Lost Queen weaves together tales of magic, sisterhood, and self-discovery.
