1918. France.
Reports of unexplained rogue attacks have come in from both sides of the Western Front.
When Marcus Dewar is tasked with investigating the aerial bombardments, it’s not because of his aviation record. To make a name for himself, he will have to escort his best friend, a woman named Jane Turner known for her witchlike repairs on damaged aircraft, through some of the war’s most dangerous battle zones.
But when they learn the rogue pilots seek out arcane devices filled with magic powerful enough to alter the war, it will take more than some hedgewitch tactics and smart flying to return with their lives.
And in a conflict that values human life so little, that’s the least they have to lose.
Courage, love, sacrifice.
In a war where the ugly pace of human military innovation ran rampant, the nuance and beauty of the Earth’s magic didn’t stand a chance. Every day, soldiers, pilots, and civilians witnessed things that defied reason and description. It was difficult to parse reality from the supernatural.
And just as the world plunged into violence, humanity began its conquest of the skies. What forces would rule the advancements of flight, and who would pay the costs? Get lost in the unforgettable journey of two young enlistees who must face these questions and more.
