I’m so excited to share that thanks to all of you…

The River’s Daughter has officially become an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Asian Myth & Legend — and even reached the Top 10 in all of Myth & Legend (Fantasy).

And The River’s Daughter also made it into the Top 10 Chart in all of Fantasy – Myth & Legend!

This is unreal and I’m so thankful for support from readers who’ve picked up Sahira’s story and recommended it to friends and family. Seeing The River’s Daughter on the shelves in person and now at the TOP of its bestsellers list in its category has been insane. THANK YOU!!!!

One of the biggest things that helped get the bestseller ranking was all the preorders and launch-day orders, so a BIG thanks goes to everyone who preordered, including newsletter subscribers who got the preorder link first.
