Mara is a 16-year-old female soldier who's been fighting for four years in a war that's lasted generations. Wide-eyed children, some just turned thirteen, rarely survive their first fights, despite her efforts to train and lead them. What she thinks she wants is to uncover the root causes of the war between the Protectors and the masked Gaishan, maybe find a way to end it. But what she really wants is a future, for herself and the others, beyond the battlefield. When she's injured in a battle and an enemy fighter not only heals her wounds, but reveals his face and promises answers to her questions, Mara is tempted enough to commit treason and follow him beyond the boundaries of her known world. It's hard to trust her handsome enemy-turned-ally and conflict follows the pair as Mara learns more about the war, uncovering revelations about her past as she pushes for answers. Ultimately she must decide what she will sacrifice for the freedom of everyone she loves.
