The Dominion ofAtalanta is at war. But for eighteen-year-old Aris, the fighting is nothing morethan a distant nightmare, something she watches on news vids from the safety ofher idyllic seaside town. Then her boyfriend, Calix, is drafted into theMilitary, and the nightmare becomes a dangerous reality.
Left behind, Aris has nothing to fillher days. Even flying her wingjet—the thing she loves most, aside fromCalix—feels meaningless without him by her side. So when she’s recruited to be apilot for an elite search-and-rescue unit, she leaps at the chance, hopingshe’ll be stationed near Calix. But there’s a catch: She must disguise herselfas a man named Aristos. There are no women in the Atalantan Military, and therenever will be.
Aris gives up everything to find Calix:her home. Her family. Even her identity. But as the war rages on, Arisdiscovers she’s fighting for much more than her relationship. With each injuredperson she rescues and each violent battle she survives, Aris is becoming a true soldier—and the best flyer inthe Atalantan Military. She’s determined to save her Dominion . . . or dietrying.
