choose vengeance. The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls
to pilot Chrysalises - giant transforming robots that battle aliens
beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that their female
co-pilots are expected to serve as concubines and often die from
the mental strain. When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a
concubine-pilot, her plan is to assassinate the ace male pilot
responsible for her sister's death. But after miraculously
surviving her first battle, Zetian sets her sights on a mightier
goal. The time has come to stop more girls from being sacrificed.

new level!' Kwame Mbalia Percy Jackson meets Yu-Gi-Oh in this
hilarious, action-packed fantasy adventure. Zachary Ying has never
had much chance to learn about his Chinese heritage. So when he's
chosen to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital
mission, he is woefully unprepared. As a result, the emperor
botches his attempt to possess Zack's body and binds to his AR
gaming headset instead. With the legendary tyrant yapping in his
headset, Zack must journey across China to steal magical artifacts
and defeat figures from history and myth. Using his newfound water
dragon powers, can Zack complete the mission in time to save the
mortal world?
