To 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.

Or die trying. This deluxe new paperback edition features eight pages of Chrysalis concept art and a discussion guide.
