Ginger Li- Half-Blood Mage, book 1 of the YA fantasy Light and Fire series


***********
A cursed dragon hunter
A half-blood mage
An attraction that threatens to light the world on fire

Seventeen-year-old Lia keeps having the same terrifying nightmare: A handsome, silver-eyed boy visits her, transforms into a dragon, and then begs for her to kill him. Lia chalks up the nightmare to an overactive imagination. Until the day Kieren, the silver-eyed boy from her dreams, arrives on her doorstep and shatters everything she’s ever believed. 

Turns out that other parallel worlds do exist. And Lia’s not your typical high school student. Her parents hail from Solair and Earth—two very different worlds—making Lia a half-blood and one of the last remaining magic-wielding mages.

As one of Solair’s dragon hunters, Kieren’s battled his fair share of monsters. But when someone curses him to become a dragon and piles of charred bodies turn up during routine hunts, Kieren realizes more-dangerous creatures are lurking in the shadows.

Lia and Kieren’s quest for answers has far-reaching consequences. Will they be able to awaken Lia’s magic and stop Kieren’s curse in time? And just what will they have to sacrifice in the process?

Many, many thanks to K.D. Ritchie from Story Wrappers.  She did a fabulous job designing the cover. If you're looking for a book cover designer, I highly, highly recommend K.D. She's talented, professional, and prompt. I enjoyed working with her so much that I've asked her to design the covers for the next 3 other books in this series too!

Reflections on my Half-Blood Mage Cover + Diversity in YA fantasy Novels

My debut novel,  Half-Blood Mage  is finally out!  To celebrate, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek into some of the decisions I made along the way... especially the decisions regarding Lia's race and my cover design.  Should Lia be Asian? Honestly, I debated whether to make Lia Asian at all. Her "Asian-ess" (in this case, I imagined her to be half-Taiwanese, half-Caucasian) doesn't really have anything to do with her story. She doesn't speak another language. I don't really bring up her multiracial upbringing that often. And her mixed-background isn't super important to her story arc. Lia could honestly look like anyone. Or have any background. The only key feature she needed to have was heterochromia.  But here's the reason why I made Lia Asian: I'm Asian. My parents are originally from Taiwan. And I married an Asian man. So I've experienced life through a very Asian American perspective.  Su...
