{"product_id":"iron-widow-book-1","title":"Iron Widow (Book 1)","description":"The instant #1 New York Times bestseller, now available in a stunning new paperback look with bonus content.\n\nPacific Rim meets The Handmaid's Tale in this blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction for YA readers.\n\nThe boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall of China. It doesn't matter that the girls die from the mental strain.\n\nWhen 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 when she gets her vengeance, it becomes clear that she is an Iron Widow, a rare kind of female pilot who can sacrifice males to power up Chrysalises instead.\n\nTo tame her frightening yet valuable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest male pilot in Huaxia, yet feared and ostracized for killing his father and brothers. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will take over instead, then leverage their combined strength to force her society to stop failing its women and girls. Or die trying.\n\nThis deluxe new paperback edition features eight pages of Chrysalis concept art and a discussion guide.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0735269955\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0735269955.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Zhao, Xiran Jay\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
