In her fourth year at the Academy, Elena should be focused on final exams and graduation. Instead, she has no choice but to stop a decades-long war—at least if she wants any future with Lucas. But it’s hard to stop a war when you’re nowhere near the front lines. And an unexpected invitation—one she can’t refuse—only complicates the matter further.
