Featuring:

• Iron Widow by XIRAN JAY ZHAO! The 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...  until Zetian, 18-year-old concubine-pilot, rises up to defy her world as an Iron Window: a girl who can sacrifice boys instead.
  
  
• Cake Eater by ALLYSON DAHLIN! The year is 30708 and she has a million followers on social media. She uses her fashion-forward eye to pick the perfect angle and filter on every photo. She’s Marie Antoinette and she’s arrived in the Franc Kingdom to marry the prince, secure an alliance, and rake in likes from her fans. But will the history we all know so well repeat itself? 

   

• One for All by LILLIE LAINOFF! Tania de Batz is most herself with a sword in her hand. Everyone thinks her dizziness makes her just “a sick girl," but she wants to be a fencer like her father, a former Musketeer. Then Papa is mysteriously murdered, and as his dying wish, he sends Tania to finishing school. L’Académie des Mariées is a training ground for new Musketeers: women who are socialites on the surface, but who seduce men into giving up secrets — and don’t shy away from swordfights.
