ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Heavenly Tyrant: "Seven months to save the world."

Happy New Year! ACOFAE is thrilled that you've joined us for 2026! Could there be a better way to set the tone and kick off 2026 than with Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao?! Picking up almost right where ACOFAE left off in book 1, Heavenly Tyrant reunites readers with Zetian and all of her wild decisions as the government has been destroyed and someone has to pick up the pieces. Qin Zheng was that man before, can he be that man again? A book filled with politics, schemes, chrysalis', and complicated social structures Heavenly Tyrant explores what happens when great change is enacted. Looming over all of these plot points is the Heavenly Court and it's secrets. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reiterate that the triangle is the strongest shape, and that decisions that seem great on paper can be disastrous upon implementation.
