I love this book. Plus, it’s not everyday you see a popular book with good polyamorous rep! Or, to be honest, any polyamorous rep. The Chrysalis pilots are men who sacrifice female concubines to power their war machines. Wu Zetian’s sister was one of those concubines, killed by one of the most respected pilots. Zetian, on a quest for revenge, enlists as his next sacrifice, hoping to kill him in his sleep. However she never gets the chance to do that, because in their first battle together…Zetian overpowers him, and kills him through their mind link. She is labeled an Iron Widow, the first in centuries. A female pilot. The men in power, while they can’t kill her, they punish her by teaming her up with the most controversial and dangerous male pilot. Li Shimin, who was jailed after he killed his entire family. Shimin has the highest spirit pressure since a famous emperor of legend, so he is sent out to fight in his Chrysalis, then brought back to a home that is practically a cell. Zetian decides to use their combined reputations as murderers, and take down the pilot system from the inside. Now that she knows what she’s capable of, she won’t back down for anyone or anything.
