Instant New York Times No.1 Bestseller!
A captivating YA Pacific Rim meets The Handmaids Tale retelling of the remarkable rise of Wu Zetian, the sole female emperor in Chinese history.
I have lost all faith in love. Love is powerless to save me. I have chosen the path of vengeance.
The boys of Huaxia, nestled within the embrace of the Great Wall, dream of pairing up with their female counterparts to pilot Chrysalises, colossal transforming robots that wage epic battles against extraterrestrial forces. It matters little that their female co-pilots are often subjected to the expectation of serving as concubines, and tragically, many succumb to the mental strain that accompanies such a role.
At the age of 18, Zetian, driven by a fierce desire for revenge, offers herself as a concubine-pilot, intending to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for the death of her sister. However, after miraculously surviving her first battle, Zetian sets her sights on a loftier goal. The time has come to put an end to the sacrificial offering of more girls.
"This is the historical-inspired, futuristic sci-fi mash-up of my wildest dreams," exclaimed Chloe Gong. "Raging against the patriarchy in spectacular style," praised the Observer, naming it one of the best books of the year. "Zetian is unstoppable, and I dare you not to cheer her on," exclaimed Elizabeth Lim, the author of Spin the Dawn.
A New York Times bestseller, published on October 10, 2021, this captivating tale has captured the hearts of readers worldwide.
