War. Rebellion. Magic. Celka's innovative magic let her assassinate the Stormhawk-Bourshkanya's unkillable dictator. Alongside Filip, a State-trained mage and Army officer, she now joins the resistance, fighting to turn that single victory into a revolution. Gerrit, Celka's co-conspirator and the Stormhawk's son, has turned his back on the resistance, believing them destined to fail. He supports his sister as the next Stormhawk-certain she'll be a better leader than their father. But the Stormhawk's legacy is powerful, and Bourshkanya's fascist military would rather follow Gerrit's sadistic elder brother. Unless the two sides of the revolution can find common ground, both could end up destroyed. Alliances form and facture, and new magic fills the skies. Bourshkanya is at war.
