THE WAIT IS OVER. ZETIAN IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.

Impressive, provocative, ambitious, and uncompromising, this epic YA science fiction story fulfills the promises of the first volume.

Zetian is hated by men and gods, and heaven and earth cannot allow her existence.

After a catastrophic loss and radical decisions, Zetian finds herself in the seat of power in Huaxia, but she has also learned that her world is not what it seems. Revelations about an enemy holding one of her loved ones hostage force Zetian to share power with a dangerous man she cannot simply dismiss. Despite their mutual dislike and distrust, the two must work together to understand their common enemy and incite a revolution against the exploitative systems that plague their world.

However, power is not easy to wield once gained, and a revolution is not easy to control once unleashed. As Huaxia's former elites retaliate and the public's fervor for justice becomes bloody and frenzied, can Zetian remain a just and righteous leader? Or will she be forced to lean on fear and violence and surrender to her darkest instincts in her quest for vengeance and liberation?

THE EPIC CONTINUATION OF IRON WIDOW.
