Amelie zhao blood heir7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() After being falsely accused of murdering her father, Anastacya must flee the castle and hide in a land whose inhabitants fear those with the power that she possesses, while, with the help of a charismatic con man, she tries to clear her name. A number of YA writers and others disparaged Blood Heir five months before its scheduled June release for what they saw as Zhao’s insensitivity to the history of racism in the U.S., particularly by using slavery as a plot device in the tale of the character Anastacya, who has the power to control blood. In January, a firestorm over the YA fantasy novel’s themes and content erupted on social media. The pub date is November 19, and there will be a 150,000 initial print run in hardcover. Random House announced on Monday that its Delacorte Press imprint will release a revised edition of Blood Heir by Amélie Wen Zhao this fall. ![]()
