For two years, Yana Braile lived with a husband who was forced upon her—a drunk. For two years she hid her gift, fearing persecution, but enough is enough! A decision has been made: she will kill him. And just when her fingers have already clenched around the knife handle, three strangers suddenly appear. A brief struggle, a blow—and… the next time the girl opens her eyes, she’ll be many kilometers away from her homeland.
The Regestor Empire is the most developed state in the explored world. Here steamships sail across the seas, iron towers reach into the sky, and among the clouds, airships glitter with magic. Here, if you have a gift of power, you’re already a lucky one; if you’re a pilot—you are unimaginably lucky, and welcome to the most elite educational institution for wizards.
But are things really as sweet as the Flight School teachers tell the newly-minted first-year student? Yana isn’t used to believing everything she’s told and will figure everything out—and neither strange admirers nor the storm over all students, the cruel and demanding master Gars, who hated her at first sight, will frighten her.
