Monstress, Book One by Marjorie Liu
Awakening
A teenage Arcanic-human survivor in a ravaged, alternate early-20th-century Asia struggles with a sentient, ancient monster trapped inside her as she seeks revenge and the truth about her past; hunted by imperial forces, witch covens, and other supernatural factions, she forges uneasy alliances and confronts a brutal world shaped by racism, war, and exploitation. Lush, gothic-fantastical visuals and a mature, noir-inflected narrative explore trauma, identity, and the violent cost of power.
