It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected—she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTo tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way—and stop more girls from being sacrificed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavenly Tyrant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(The following may contain spoilers for Book 1)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAfter suffering devastating loss and making drastic decisions, Zetian finds herself on the seat of power in Huaxia, but she has also learned that her world is not as it seems. Revelations about an enemy who dangles one of her loved ones as a hostage force Zetian to share power with a dangerous man she cannot simply depose. Despite their mutual dislike and distrust, the two must work together to take down their common enemy and stoke a revolution against the systems of exploitation that plague their world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, power is not so easy to wield once seized, and a revolution is not so easy to control once unleashed. As Huaxia’s former elites strike back and the common people’s fervor for justice turns bloody and paranoid, can Zetian remain a fair and just ruler? Or will she be forced to rely on fear and violence and succumb to her darker instincts in her quest for vengeance and liberation?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frayed Hearts Bookish Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45287781138502,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/2211\/7702\/files\/2BookSet.png?v=1784053996","url":"https:\/\/frayedhearts.com\/products\/iron-widow-book-1","provider":"Frayed Hearts Bookish Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
