El has trained all her life to do two things – to fly the skies on wings of roaring flames, and to burn her enemies to the ground. Now, having graduated the academy, she’s ready to do both those things.

​

…until she’s dispatched in the opposite direction of the war effort. To a city named after vegetables of all things. Seriously, who names a place after those? But, despite it being a routine mission, El and her unit find a new enemy waiting for them. One who isn’t afraid of a little fire.

​

With the war now on two fronts, El and her friends must use every spark of magic they have in a high-flying gambit against an enemy bearing a truth that threatens her faith – and a choice that threatens her nation.

​

And, if she’s lucky, maybe she’ll even find a good sandwich along the way. That’d be a real win.
