Kira Freeman defends Greenwilde from the rebel witches that live in the desert, just as her father did before her. Sometimes she can imagine a life where she isn't a soldier and things are different, but she tries not to think about that. However, when she stumbles upon a secret radio station broadcasting a mysterious message, she finds herself submerged in a burgeoning revolution, fighting for the side she never thought she'd be on. Things are not always what they seem, and with people dying left and right, everything Kira thought she knew about her world is brought into question. She must decide: will she do what is right, or what is easy?
