About This Series
A young-adult science fiction quartet about a girl determined to become a fighter pilot on a planet under permanent siege, and the AI ship she is not supposed to have found. The series widens sharply after the first book, moving from a claustrophobic pilot school into questions about who the enemy actually is. Four novels from 2018 to 2023, plus Skyward Flight, a collection of novellas following secondary characters through the same events.
