Working at a munitions factory seems like the most she can do to serve her country―until the government begins recruiting an all-female army battalion. Inspired, Katya enlists. Training with other brave women, she finds camaraderie and a deep sense of purpose. But when the women's battalion heads to the front, Katya has to confront the horrifying realities of war. Faced with heartbreak and disillusionment, she must reevaluate her commitment and decide where she stands.

Two sisters, Najwa and Zayele, discover they are half-jinni twins amidst a bitter war between humans and jinn. Najwa seeks peace in the human palace, while Zayele, a powerful magus, attracts attention from the army. A wish from Zayele changes everything, impacting the war and their lives.
