A place among the Nine Virgins meant the highest-caliber beauty—and sword skill. Her hair was arranged in an elaborate knot at the top of her head, her delicate ears bare.  \nHer skin was clear and fair. None of her features stood out as extraordinary, and yet her beauty surpassed any ordinary woman .  \nNo expression whatsoever showed in her eyes. One expected more emotion in a woman standing in line to buy vegetables, let alone at the start of a match, and yet Yang sensed a frightening determination to win. Camellia had been hard enough to beat. And this woman was better?  \nHe stood in Eastern Virgin Court for the first time. Gnarled old vines climbed a trellis in the corner. The blue-violet blooms of the wisteria, swaying in a spring breeze, matched the silk skirt of Wisteria Swaying in a Spring Breeze.  \nHer jacket was a paler violet than the skirt and trimmed with deep purple-red. A white collar peeked out from behind the first. Her scabbard was made from some sort of exotic purplish rosewood, the hilt wrapped in violet silk. Violet gemstones accented the silver hardware of the sheath and the silver rings in her ears .  \nYes, thought Yang. I want her. Now I just have to earn her.","cbCainCiYexcWFBq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainCiYexcWFBq","pdf",2203064,226,"English","# Dedication\n# Forward\n# Chapter One\n# Chapter Two\n# Chapter Three\n# Chapter Four\n# Chapter Five\n# Chapter Six\n# Chapter Seven\n# Chapter Eight\n# Chapter Nine\n# Chapter Ten\n# Chapter Eleven\n# Chapter Twelve\n# Chapter Thirteen\n# Chapter Fourteen\n# Chapter Fifteen\n# Chapter Sixteen\n# Chapter Seventeen\n# Chapter Eighteen\n# Chapter Nineteen\n# Chapter Twenty\n# Chapter Twenty-one\n# Chapter Twenty-two\n# Chapter Twenty-three\n# Chapter Twenty-four\n# Chapter Twenty-five\n# Chapter Twenty-six\n# Chapter Twenty-seven\n# Chapter Twenty-eight\n# Chapter Twenty-nine\n# Chapter Thirty\n# Chapter Thirty-one\n# Chapter Thirty-two\n# Chapter Thirty-three\n# Chapter Thirty-four\n# Chapter Thirty-five\n# Chapter Thirty-six\n# Chapter Thirty-seven\n# Chapter Thirty-eight\n# Chapter Thirty-nine\n# Chapter Forty\n# Chapter Forty-one\n# Chapter Forty-two\n# Chapter Forty-three\n# Chapter Forty-four\n# Chapter Forty-five\n# Chapter Forty-six\n# Chapter Forty-seven\n# Chapter Forty-eight\n# Chapter Forty-nine\n# Chapter Fifty\n# Glossary","[{\"question\":\"What is the required reading order mentioned in the foreword?\",\"answer\":\"The foreword instructs readers not to start with this book before reading Iron Concubines, and states the series must be read in order.\"},{\"question\":\"When and where does this book’s story begin?\",\"answer\":\"It begins in spring, during the second year of Jian’an (197 CE) in Eastern Han Dynasty China, at the Eastern Virgin Court.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Yang decide about his opponent after the first encounter?\",\"answer\":\"Yang recognizes her presence among the Nine Virgins and senses a frightening determination to win, then concludes he wants her and plans to earn her.\"}]","Bodies & Blades - Sword Maidens of Black Steel Mountain - Book Two | PDF",348]
