Publisher's Synopsis
Evelyn Post knows she will die a spinster if she does not leave her parents' house. When she is seventeen, she runs away to join the High Guard, the only branch of the military accepting women, where the members learn to fly airships. Her dedication to regulations and a natural talent for flying catch the attention of the higher officers, including her direct superior, Jeremy Windsor. When a training incident leaves Evelyn injured, she temporarily takes a watch patrol which lets her spend time healing... and talking with Jeremy. She begins to feel he hides just as much as he tells her, and after the Officer's Ball, Jeremy is assigned a two year mission abroad. They exchange letters carried by cargo barges until he returns and is given command of a ship, where she becomes the pilot. Evelyn knows they are breaking regulations, and if their relationship is discovered, she will have to choose between the man she loves and the career in the High Guard she has always wanted.
